Malai Kofta – deep-fried paneer and potato balls, dunked in a creamy, smooth, scrumptious, lightly sweet onion tomato based gravy! It pairs very well with Tandoori roti and Naan! Once you taste this Punjabi recipe you will make it again and again. I guarantee!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Few Indian vegetarian curry recipes (like Aloo Gobi<\/a>, Chana masala<\/a>, Palak paneer<\/a>, Paneer butter masala, Methi Matar Malai<\/a>, etc), never get old. They always get you to drool by just listening to its name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among all, Malai Kofta is my favorite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you love Indian Vegetarian Food Recipes then do try this exotic one as well! Even the pickiest kids will get a big soft spot on this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Malai Kofta?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is classic North Indian curry originated from the Mughlai Cuisine, and you will find it on the menu of almost all the North Indian restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But you do not have to wait to go to a restaurant to eat Malai Kofta, you can make Restaurant Style Malai Kofta at home too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Malai means cream and kofta means deep-fried paneer-potato dumpling balls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this recipe, koftas are made with Potato and paneer, stuffed with paneer, cashew, raisins, cardamom powder, cream, and sugar, and added into the silky onion and tomato-based gravy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This curry is rich, ultimate indulgence, and one of my most favorite Indian dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As this recipe is really rich because of nuts and heavy cream, it is not recommended for everyday eating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some recipes are reserved for special occasions and this is one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is one dish which nobody will get bored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
