The Malai Kofta recipe is a delicious preparation paneer and potato balls simmered in a spiced tomato gravy. This recipe of kofta is a healthy twist to the traditionally deep fried kofta recipes that you would make.

I have used the Kuzhi Paniyaram Pan to pan fry the koftas making them nutritious and tasty too. This recipe also does not use Onion and Garlic, making it a Satvik food.

Serve Non Fried Malai Kofta Recipe with Tawa parathas and Mixed Vegetable Pulao Recipe and Mooli Raita for lunch or dinner. You can even serve the Malai Kofta for a indian dinner party menu.
