How to make Malai Paneer Kofta Recipe
To make kofta
- First, boil the potatoes and after boiling keep them on a plate to cool down.
- Cut onions, tomatoes, and green coriander until the potatoes are boiled.
- Grind tomatoes in a mixer and make a thick paste/puree out of it.
- After that cut cashews and raisins into small pieces.
- Now mix 1/2 teaspoon sugar in it well.
- Now crush the potatoes and paneer well and mash them.
- After that add flour to it and mix all three well.
- Make koftas (round balls) of the potato-paneer mixture and stuff small pieces of cashews and raisins in them.
- Now turn on the gas and put a pan on it and put oil in it.
- When the oil becomes hot, put these balls of koftas in the oil and fry them.
- Fry all the koftas in this way.
To make gravy
- Now put another vessel on the gas and put some oil in it.
- Now add onion, ginger, and tomato paste and fry it.
- After that mix cashew paste in it and add two tablespoons of hot milk.
- Now put dry spices and Kasoori methi in this mixture.
- Fry this mixture while stirring and when it starts leaving oil, add half a cup of water to it.
- When this gravy becomes slightly thick after cooking, then add cream/malai to it. After that add sugar to it and mix this mixture well.
- Now leave this gravy to cook on low flame.
- When the sides of the gravy starts leaving due to greasiness, add fried koftas to it and mix well.
- Your Malai Koftas are ready.
- Take them out in a serving bowl and garnish them with coriander leaves.
- Serve it with roti, paratha, naan, or rice.
Recipe Notes
- If the koftas burst while frying, take them out and apply dry flour on them and fry them again.
- Potatoes should be boiled and mashed well, this makes it easy to give a round shape to the kofta.
- Instead of putting koftas in gravy, you can take out koftas in a serving bowl and pour gravy and cream on it.
- By keeping the koftas in gravy for at least half an hour before serving, the koftas absorb the gravy well and taste good.
