Notes

I prefer using paneer crumbled by hand but grated paneer also works equally well.
Use maida or refined wheat flour as a substitute for rice flour if it is not available.
You may keep the shaped paneer balls in the fridge for some time to set properly before frying.  
Fry paneer balls on a medium flame to allow even cooking inside out without burning the exterior. 
I take out fried paneer balls on a strainer because putting them on a tissue paper makes them soft.
