Boil and peel the potatoes. Once cooled slightly, mash them in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Ensure there are no lumps.
Add boiled green peas to the mashed potatoes and mash slightly leaving some texture from the peas.
Add chopped coriander leaves, grated ginger, and chopped green chili to the mixture.
Sprinkle ground cumin, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt over the potato mixture and mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
Add cornflour and rice flour to the mixture. This will help to bind the tikis and give them a nice crispy texture.
Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each portion into small patties or tikis, ensuring they are roughly the same size.
Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Ensure you have enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan for shallow frying.
Carefully place the shaped tikis into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, remove the tikis from the oil and drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
Serve the dairy-free aloo tikis hot with your choice of chutney or sauce.
