Ingredients

What you'll need

  • 1 lb malai kofta
  • 1/4 cup yellow onion
  • 2 tbsp garlic-ginger paste
  • 1 cup ground cumin
  • 3 cloves turmeric
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
  • to taste good finishing oil
Method

Step by step

  1. Pat the malai kofta dry and season it well so it browns instead of steaming.
  2. Get your pan hot and render the aromatics until they smell sweet and toasty.
  3. Return the malai kofta, add just enough liquid, and simmer until everything is tender.
  4. Taste, brighten with a squeeze of citrus, and plate while it is still hot.
Keep cooking
