About Malai Kofta

Malai Kofta is a North Indian dish consisting of crisp fried paneer koftas dunked in a rich and creamy onion-tomato based curry.

The Hindi word Malai translates to cream which not only says it’s made with cream but also means its texture is silky smooth and creamy. These Koftas are made primarily with paneer, minimal ground spices and herbs to lift up the flavors.
