What's Malai Kofta?
Malai Kofta is renowned in North India for its use of golden paneer, potatoes, and nuts on fried dumplings served in creamy tomato-based gravy. It is also known as the Malakkah Curry. It is commonly served with naan, roti, or jeera rice. It is an Indian feast that represents both opulence and revelry.
Pro Tips for the Best Malai Kofta Recipe
✅ Always mash the potatoes well to avoid lumps in the kofta mixture.
✅ Use fresh paneer for a soft texture.
✅ Fry koftas on medium heat to cook them evenly without breaking.
✅ For a healthier version, air-fry or bake the koftas instead of deep frying.
✅ Add koftas to the gravy just before serving to maintain crispiness.
✅ If the gravy is too thick, add a little warm water or milk for a smoother consistency.
