Mash the cooled potatoes in a large bowl until smooth.
Finely chop the cilantro leaves and the green chili, and grate the ginger.
Add the green peas, cilantro, ginger, and green chili to the mashed potatoes.
Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and salt to the potato mixture. Mix well to combine.
Add lemon juice and mash again to incorporate all the flavors.
Add rice flour to the mixture, mixing until the flour is thoroughly combined.
Divide the potato mixture into equal portions and shape them into small, flat patties or tikkis.
Place breadcrumbs on a plate and coat each tikki with breadcrumbs on all sides, pressing gently.
Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, gently place the tikkis in the pan. Cook them in batches if needed.
Fry each side for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
Serve hot with your favorite chutney or ketchup.
