Description : Malai Kofta is a hugely popular dish on Indian restaurant menus all over the world. It is a special occasion food… probably because making it is a labor of love and takes time and effort. Malai (meaning creamy in Hindi) Kofta is the perfect vegetarian alternative to meatballs. It goes very well with Naan (tandoor-baked).
