Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 12 minutes. Drain, cool slightly, then peel and mash.

  2. Step 2

    Mix mashed potatoes with crumbled paneer, flour, minced green chili, and a pinch of salt until combined.

  3. Step 3

    Divide mixture into 4 equal portions and gently pat into thick patties about 2 inches wide.

  4. Step 4

    Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high until it shimmers. Slide patties in and fry 3–4 minutes per side until edges turn golden brown.

  5. Step 5

    Arrange patties on a plate. Top each with a dollop of yogurt, drizzle of tamarind chutney, and a pinch of cilantro.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately while patties are still warm and crispy.
