In a pan, heat oil and add mustard seeds. Once they pop, add asafoetida, curry leaves, ginger, garlic, and green chilies. Saute for a minute. Add turmeric, mashed potatoes, salt, and coriander leaves. Mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool.
In a bowl, whisk together gram flour, turmeric powder, red chili powder (optional), and salt. Gradually add water to make a smooth, flowing batter.
Grind the ingredients for each chutney separately into a fine paste. Adjust consistency with water.
Form small balls from the potato mixture. Heat oil for deep frying. Dip each ball in the batter and gently slide it into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown.
Slice the pav buns open but keep them attached at one end. Spread green chutney on one side, and tamarind chutney on the other, and sprinkle some dry garlic chutney on top. Place the hot vada inside the pav and add fried green chilies and chopped onions (optional). Serve immediately.
