Spill in a cup of besan flour in a large bowl and dust some red chili powder and turmeric powder along with a pinch of salt. Splash in some water to make a thick batter out of it. Let it rest for a while and meanwhile make the preparation for the filling.
Boil the potatoes in a wok and peel of the skin and mash it up well. Heat the wok again and tip in a little oil. Plop in the mashed potatoes and add salt and the spice powders one by one. First add the measured quantities of red chili and coriander powder and follow it up with cumin and pepper powders. Finally, tip in a little turmeric powder and sugar and stir in. Let it saute in low flame for a few minutes and at last spill in a few drops of lemon juice and turn off the flame.
Heat three cups of oil in a wok and maintain the flame in medium high mode. Make balls out of this potato mixture and insert a paneer cube and dip it in the base besan flour and drop it into the hot oil. Similarly, make four to five balls depending upon the size of the wok and the quantity of oil. Rotate the balls using a slotted spoon and when it turns golden brown overall, take it out and place it over a plate covered with a paper towel. Repeat the process until you are done with the remaining batter and filling and serve hot with a coconut chutney.
