• Garam masala a pinch
• Sugar a pinch
• Salt to taste
• White pepper powder a pinch
• Oil for deep frying the koftas
Method:
• Start by first wrapping a paper towel around the paneer to absorb excess moisture, further grate the paneer and mawa and cream them well, use the base of your palm, to cream them.
• Add salt, cardamom powder & maida, make sure to add maida in batches and mix well until a dough like consistency is formed, keep mixing until the mixture starts to leave the thal and it has formed like a dough.
• Further add baking powder & mix well, cover the mixture and make the filling by the time.
• For making the filling, start by first mixing saffron strands in warm milk, allow the saffron to bloom.
• Further, set a pan on medium heat, add the nuts and briefly roast them, remove them and add in a mixing bowl, further add ginger, green chillies, kasuri methi, garam masala, sugar salt & white pepper powder, along with this add 3-4 tbsp of mawa & paneer mixture, mix them well and your nuts filling is ready.
• Now for making the koftas, take a spoonful of paneer & mawa mixture, shape them in lemon size balls, flatten them and further shape like a bowl, add sufficient amount of nuts filling and bring the ends together to seal them, shape them in balls and keep aside.
• Set oil in wok on medium, drop the shaped kofta balls in hot oil and fry them on low heat, until they are golden brown in colour, stir them gently while frying to get an even colour.

You can check for the perfect consistency by dipping a spatula, it should coat well.
• Further add kasuri methi, garam masala and kewda water, stir & cook the gravy for 1-2 minutes.
• Now take a bowl and a sieve, and strain this gravy, use a spatula or a spoon while straining to avoid any wastage.
• Transfer the strained gravy back to the wok and adjust the seasoning, add salt according to your preference, you can adjust the consistency of the gravy as well just by adding hot water as required.
• Further add sugar, fresh cream & butter, stir well and your silky smooth malai kofta gravy is ready!
• You can serve it two ways, place hot fried koftas on the serving plate and pour hot silky-smooth gravy on top, add some kasuri methi & some chilli oil while serving, or you can also add the koftas directly in the gravy and stir gently to cook for 1-2 minutes, serve hot with roti, naan or any indian bread of your choice.

I have cooked a few malai kofta versions in the channel before but the classic one, so this recipe is the classic, traditional malai kofta recipe which is super simple. I know a lot of you guys thought that these are Dahi Bhallas 😂 but you were wrong. There is a cult following for malai koftas & I am sure those who are fans would love his recipe.

When I lived in Riyadh there was a restaraunt that served this and it was basically my favourite dish, I have never been able to find any Malai Kofta recipes that matched it, but I am so happy that you posted this one because I have been craving this for years, thank you. I think theirs had a little more fillings added for the kofta, like beans, peas and carrots, but this resembles and reminds me of it so much, thank you for sharing the traditional Malai Kofta recipe, honestly, thank you so much, lol.
