However Malai Kofta has always symbolised richness in all ways. Though the Malai Kofta traditionally as served in all restaurant is white in colour, I decided a change in colour is not going to change the taste or the interest. So when my version turned out rich brown gravy, I was all fine! I was making the Paneer Biryani and I wanted another rich dish to accompany it. So I remembered Malai Kofta and looked up the versions I had with me. This was such a delicious treat for everybody at home.

Another tip that I would say will help, will be using milk powder when you don't have cream on hand. That really turns the gravy very creamy and rich. However this recipe does have it's share of nuts included.
I again made this for dinner and I had to make sure the lighting was just fine for clicking the brown pictures. I didn't want the pictures to end up looking too brownish or unattractive. I know I ended up falling in love with this dish, it turned out so well. you must try and enjoy!

Notes:
I served some koftas that were fried crisp as a side, it gave a wonderful taste as a pakoda experience.

Hema says
Tried this today. The first batch of frying the koftas turned out great, but when I dropped the second batch of koftas in the hot oil they started disintegrating. Any idea why?
Srivalli says
Hema, Sometimes the koftas tend to disintegrate if they are not pressed properly. Maybe you can try pressing them hard again. The moisture content is an important factor here.
