Method

To make the mint chutney place all the ingredients in a food processor and blitz until completely smooth. To make the Raita, mix all raita ingredients.

To prepare the potatoes bring a pot of water to boil and place potatoes in and gently simmer for 15 minutes, once done drain these and keep around ¼ cup of water on the side. 

In a pan heat tablespoon of olive oil and add curry leaves and ensure they become fragrant then add garlic, ginger, mustard seeds and the 2 chopped chillies. 

After 1 minute add the cooked potato and stir through so it’s coated in curry leaves, and add about 2 tablespoons of reserved potato cooking water, juice of half a lime and the ground turmeric. 

After 5 minutes remove from heat and roughly mash. 

To construct these buns – cut the bun in half, smear green chutney on the bottom, smear a generous portion of the potato on top of this (go heavy), top with Raita, Bhuja and then a lettuce leaf. 

Enjoy – it gets messy but goodness me it is delicious.
