Restaurant Style Malai Kofta in White Gravy
A few years ago, restaurants started to experiment with Malai Kofta and it quickly became one of the most popular plate items on their menu. Malai Kofta is a curry dish made of lamb or chicken minced and blended with spices, typically ginger, garlic, cardamom, and cumin. The dish is then served in a gravy made of white flour, milk, and cream.
This creamy gravy gives the koftas a smooth texture and a divine depth of flavour. Interestingly, many restaurants use beef or lamb for their malai koftas. However, switching to chicken can reduce the fat content and make the dish more health-conscious for those eating at a restaurant.
