Boil the potatoes in a large pot until they are fork-tender, then drain and let them cool slightly.
While the potatoes are boiling, also boil the green peas until they are tender, then drain and set aside.
Peel the cooled potatoes and mash them in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
Add the boiled green peas to the potatoes and mash them slightly, maintaining some texture.
Mix in the rice flour, red chili powder, garam masala, ground cumin, chaat masala, and salt.
Add the chopped cilantro and green chilies to the mixture and combine everything well.
Divide the mixture into equal portions (approximately 10-12) and shape each portion into a flat, round patty.
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the tikkis in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook each side for about 4-5 minutes or until they are golden brown and crisp.
Remove the tikkis from the skillet and drain excess oil on a paper towel.
Serve the Gluten-Free Aloo Tikki hot, with your choice of chutney or sauce.
