Pound the roasted spices in a mortar with a pestle along with salt, red chilli powder and dry mango powder. Add this to the potato mixture and mix well. Heat a little oil in a non-stick pan. Stuff this mixture into the slit chillies and place them in the pan. Cover and let them soften on medium heat. Transfer then chillies onto a chopping board and cut into four slices each. Arrange salty biscuits on a serving plate and place a slice of the stuffed chilli on top of each. Garnish with red capsicum pieces and serve immediately.
