Crispy paneer balls known as kofta are served with a creamy, and super luxurious gravy. This Shahi Paneer Kofta is a delight for your senses. It smells great, looks so wonderful, and melts in your mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best part is you can split the cooking process for two days by preparing the gravy on one day and making the koftas on the next day. So it’s the perfect make-ahead recipe for parties, get-togethers, and potlucks.<\/p>\n\n\n

Diwali is a few days away and like every year I have planned many fusion as well as traditional recipes to share with you all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I am starting with this Shahi Paneer Kofta. This Paneer recipe is perfect for festival gatherings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the name implies, this Shahi Paneer Kofta curry uses all the shahi ingredients like paneer, Khoya, dry fruits, saffron, and cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The word kofta means fried balls in Hindi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So Sahi Paneer Kofta translates to Koftas made with paneer, khoya, and nuts and dunked in a rich and creamy tomato-onion-based sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This curry sounds very difficult to make but it’s not at all. And also, this curry is a bit different than Malai Kofta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Malai Kofta<\/a>, we make koftas from paneer and potato, whereas in this Shahi paneer kofta, we make kofta with paneer, nuts, and khoya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Shahi Paneer Kofta is a very rich dish. Don’t feel guilty about eating this kofta. After all, it’s not every day that you cook such rich food. This Indian recipe is a recipe that is worthy of a royal feast!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crisp on the outside and heavenly smooth on the inside, these tasty fried dumplings are dunked in a smooth, mildly sweet, and lighted spiced gravy. The combination of the kofta with the gravy tastes awesome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I call this creamy paneer kofta curry Melt-Away Kofta simply because they melt away as soon as you put them in your mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have this paneer koftas with Indian Naan, Paratha, or Basmati Rice, and dine like the Mughals used to!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recipe is nothing short of a gift. You’ll just have to try it to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
