Peel and roughly chop the potatoes. Boil them in a pot of water for 10-15 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside to cool.
Steam or microwave the green peas until tender, about 3-5 minutes, and set them aside.
In a large bowl, mash the cooled potatoes, making sure there are no large lumps.
Finely chop the cilantro, green chili, and ginger. Add them to the mashed potatoes along with the steamed green peas.
Add the cumin seeds, coriander powder, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and salt to the potato mixture and mix well to combine.
Stir in the lemon juice and cornstarch. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated to form a cohesive dough-like mixture.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal parts and shape them into round, flat patties (tikkis) about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Carefully place the tikkis in the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Fry each patty for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked tikkis onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve hot as a snack or appetizer with your favorite chutney or yogurt dip.
