Boil the potatoes in a pot of water until they are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Once cooked, peel and mash them in a large bowl.
Grate the carrot and set aside.
In a small pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add finely chopped onion, ginger, and garlic; sauté for 2-3 minutes until soft.
Add grated carrot and green peas to the pan. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the carrots are slightly tender.
Add cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, and black pepper to the pan. Stir well and cook until the spices are fragrant, about 1 minute.
Transfer the sautéed mixture to the mashed potatoes.
Add finely chopped green chili and coriander leaves to the potato mixture. Mix well.
Add lemon juice and chickpea flour to the mixture. Mix until everything is well combined and form a soft dough.
Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each portion into flattened patties or cutlet shapes.
Place the breadcrumbs in a plate. Coat each cutlet lightly with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure they stick.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the cutlets in the skillet in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd.
Cook each cutlet for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve hot with your choice of low-sodium dips or enjoy as is with a squeeze of lemon.
