Ingredients:
400g minced chicken (keema)
½ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
½ tsp chili flakes
½ tsp garam masala
½ tsp roasted cumin
½ tsp garlic paste
½ tsp ginger paste
1 tsp hung yogurt
¼ cup finely chopped onion
2-3 finely chopped green chilies
2½ tbsp finely chopped coriander
3 tbsp breadcrumbs
For Gravy:
2 tbsp cooking oil (plus extra for shallow frying)
1 medium onion, thinly sliced (½ cup)
3 green chilies
2½ tbsp cashews
3 cardamoms
¼ small piece of mace
1 small cinnamon stick
½ cup hung yogurt
½ tsp garlic paste
½ tsp ginger paste
½ tsp salt (to taste)
½ tsp garam masala
¼ tsp pepper
½ tsp roasted cumin
½ cup water
½ cup cream (any type)
Instructions:
Prepare the Koftas:
In a bowl, combine minced chicken, salt, pepper, chili flakes, garam masala, roasted cumin, garlic paste, ginger paste, hung yogurt, chopped onion, green chilies, coriander, and breadcrumbs. Mix well.
Form the mixture into 13-14 balls.
Heat some oil in a pan and shallow fry the koftas for about 4 minutes, turning them to ensure even cooking. Once they are golden brown, remove them to a plate.
Make the Gravy:
In the same pan, reduce the oil to 2 tbsp. Add sliced onion, green chilies, and cashews. Sauté until the onions are soft.
Add cardamoms, mace, and cinnamon stick. Sauté for a short time, then transfer the mixture to a blender or mixer. Add ½ cup of hung yogurt and blend into a smooth paste.
In the same pan, heat 2 tbsp of oil. Add garlic paste and ginger paste, and fry for 30-40 seconds over medium-low heat.
Add the onion-cashew-yogurt mixture to the pan along with ½ cup of water. Mix well.
Season with salt, garam masala, pepper, and roasted cumin. Sauté for 3 minutes over low heat until the oil begins to separate.
Add the koftas to the gravy and mix gently.
Pour in ½ cup of cream, cover, and cook for 7 minutes over low heat. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Serve:
Garnish with coriander and serve the Chicken Malai Kofta Curry with pulao, rice, or paratha. Enjoy the rich and flavorful dish!

Which type of cream??

[@SoumyadiptoGhose]

Can the chicken balls be made beforehand and kept for later cooking?! I mean 1-2 days before?

[@chickenwingschickenwings9793]

Any specific part of chicken to mince?

[@banglarrannaghor]

For the best flavor and texture in minced chicken dishes, dark meat from the thighs or legs is often recommended. However, if you prefer a leaner option, you can use chicken breast. Both dark and white meat can be used for mincing, depending on your preference for fat content and flavor. In summary, you can use any part of the chicken for mincing, but dark meat is typically more flavorful, while white meat is leaner.

What does cream mean? How am I supposed to make it?

[@thefkm_]

What is hung yoghurt? Can i use normal yoghurt?

[@banglarrannaghor]

Hung yogurt is simply regular yogurt that has been strained to remove most of its whey, resulting in a thicker, creamier texture. It's often used in recipes that require a denser consistency, like dips or spreads.

[@madihakhan8668]

@banglarrannaghor Since I'm too lazy 🙈, can Greek yogurt be used instead of hung curd? 😁

[@tanhachowdhury304]

No.

[@madihakhan8668]

@@tanhachowdhury304 😩 okay, thank you. Now I gotta do it the proper way 😭

[@Tahasinafatema]

Yes...Greek yogurt is similar to curd
