malai kofta recipe | kofta malai curry recipe with step by step video recipe. malai kofta is a traditional punjabi gravy recipe which is prepared in most of the punjabi and north indian houses. this gravy is amazing side dish for tandoori roti and tandoori nan. this curry can be served with jeera rice or even with safron rice too.

i personally was not a big fan of malai kofta curry, but this is my husband’s favourite curry. also, whenever we plan to eat outside, especially if it is punjabi dhaba, kofta curry is always on the menu order. as result, even i have started liking this recipe. but whenever we eat outside, my husband would end up having stomach upset. perhaps due to excess cream used in the recipe.

but i have improvised a lot by reducing the heavy cream and spices. also i have added cashew and almond nuts while preparing the kofta. usually kofta does not contain any nuts within it. but these nuts will certainly surprise you while eating with roti or chapathi.

i have posted several curry recipes and punjabi dishes, especially rajma masala recipe, chole masala recipe, dum aloo recipe, sweet corn paneer recipe, paneer butter masala, palak paneer etc.
