Malai Kofta is a popular Indian vegetarian dish made with deep-fried paneer and potato dumplings served in a creamy tomato-based gravy. The dumplings are made by combining mashed paneer (Indian cottage cheese), boiled potatoes, and a mix of spices. They are then shaped into small balls and deep-fried until golden brown. The creamy tomato gravy is made with a blend of onions, tomatoes, cashews, and a variety of aromatic spices. The fried koftas are added to the gravy just before serving, allowing them to soak up the flavors of the rich and creamy sauce. Malai Kofta is often garnished with fresh cream, chopped coriander leaves, and a sprinkle of dried fenugreek leaves for added flavor. It is typically served with naan, roti, or rice and is a favorite among vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike.
