Malai Kofta

Malai Kofta is a popular Indian dish made with fried potato and paneer balls served in a creamy tomato-based sauce.

Ingredients - Serves 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, grated paneer, soaked cashews, chopped onion, ginger-garlic paste, green chili, coriander leaves, corn flour, and salt. Mix well to form a smooth dough.
Divide the dough into small portions and shape them into round kofta balls.
Heat oil in a deep pan and fry the kofta balls until golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In a separate pan, heat some oil and add the tomato puree. Cook for a few minutes until the raw smell disappears.
Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, kasuri methi, sugar, and salt. Mix well and cook for another 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat and add fresh cream. Stir well to combine.
Add the fried kofta balls to the sauce and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend together.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with naan or rice.
