Drain again and keep them aside to dry.
Squeeze out any extra water and transfer them to a blender.
Add 1 boiled potato, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, dry mango powder, salt, ginger, garlic, green chilli, lime juice and coriander leaves.
Add 1/2 tsp of oil and blend to a thick paste.
Transfer to a large bowl.
Mash the remaining potato and add to the bowl.
Add cornflour and mix well. The mixture should be thick and sticky.
Shape the mixture, using wet hands, into desired shapes (round or squares or oblong) and place them on a floured plate.
Keep them in the fridge for 30 to 35 minutes so that they are firm.
Remove them 10 minutes before frying.
