Step 1
Boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 12 minutes. Drain, cool slightly, then peel and mash.
Step 2
Mix mashed potatoes with crumbled paneer, flour, minced green chili, and a pinch of salt until combined.
Step 3
Divide mixture into 4 equal portions and gently pat into thick patties about 2 inches wide.
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.
Step 5
Arrange patties on a plate. Top each with a dollop of yogurt, drizzle of tamarind chutney, and a pinch of cilantro.
Step 6
Serve immediately while patties are still warm and crispy.
