Grind the roasted peanuts in a food processor to make a coarse powder. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed potatoes, peanut powder, breadcrumbs, cornstarch, chopped green chilies, grated ginger, cilantro, salt, red chili powder, and garam masala. Mix well to form a dough.
Divide the dough into equal portions and shape each portion into flat, round tikkis.
Heat the oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Shallow fry the tikkis in batches, cooking each side for 3–4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the tikkis from the pan and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Serve hot with mint chutney or ketchup.
