Malai Kofta

Malai Kofta is a rich and indulgent North Indian dish featuring soft, melt-in-your-mouth dumplings made from mashed potatoes, paneer (Indian cottage cheese), and sometimes vegetables, all mixed with spices. These koftas are deep-fried to a golden brown and then simmered in a creamy, spiced tomato-based gravy. The gravy, enriched with cream (malai), cashews, and aromatic spices, gives the dish its signature luxurious texture and flavor. Malai Kofta is often garnished with fresh coriander and served with naan, roti, or steamed rice, making it a popular choice for special occasions and celebrations.
