Manjari's Malai Kofta (Vg)

Title: Serves 2 (675g)

A Comforting Indian Classic, Made by Manjari with Love

This dish is Manjari’s take on malai kofta, a favourite across North India and one she has perfected with her own special twist. Creamy ricotta is gently seasoned, shaped into delicate dumplings, and lightly fried until golden before being nestled into a silky tomato and cashew gravy. The result is dumplings that are light and tender, soaking up the flavours of the rich, aromatic sauce with every bite.

The curry itself is made the traditional way; tomatoes and onions cooked down with spices, blended with cashews and poppy seeds for natural creaminess, then finished with fenugreek leaves, yogurt, and a touch of cream. The spices here aren’t fiery but warming, creating a dish that is mild in heat yet layered in flavour. It’s indulgent enough for a special dinner but comforting enough to enjoy midweek.

FAQ's

Ricotta gives the kofta a softer, creamier texture compared to paneer’s firmer bite. Once fried and simmered in the curry, the ricotta dumplings become light and almost melt-in-your-mouth, soaking up the rich flavours of the gravy.

Traditionally, malai kofta is served with basmati or jeera rice, or with warm naan to scoop up the sauce and dumplings. You could also add a side of raita (yoghurt with cucumber) to balance the rich, creamy gravy.

Yes, this curry keeps well. Store in the fridge and enjoy within 2–3 days. The kofta will continue to absorb flavour, making it even more delicious the next day.

    Better than takeaway

    The right amount of spice, very tasty and enough for two large eaters with our own rice. We took a couple of frozen meals away with us which saved cooking and was very convenient as we were out of range of takeaway. Will definitely buy this again.

    This is our favourite Indian Curry and a regular favourite on our Food St orders.

    Beautifully flavoured and spiced 'just right' with quality meat and ingredients and generous portions.

    To be honest this beats 99% of restaurant's "butter chicken" style dishes.

    I’ve had this over and over again and it never disappoints! Such great flavours and not at all sweet like some of the Indian restaurants here. It’s filling, delicious and packed with flavour

    Thanks so much for your great feedback Angie!
