Malai kofta

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan. When the oil turns hot, add cardamoms, cloves &amp; cinnamon.

Then add onions and saute until they turn transparent or golden. 

Next add tomatoes &amp; cashews. Saute for 2 to 3 mins. Pour half cup water &amp; boil all the ingredients until soft &amp; mushy.

Turn off the stove and cool completely. Blend this to a smooth puree. Strain the puree (filter) through a strainer to another bowl.

Preparation

Heat a pan with oil or butter. Add bay leaf, cinnamon and cardamoms (all spices are optional here). Saute for a minute.

Add ginger garlic paste and saute on a low heat till the raw smell goes away. This takes about 2 to 3 mins.

Quickly stir in chili powder, garam masala, coriander powder,salt and sugar. Pour the onion tomato puree. Mix it well.

Saute for 3 to 4 mins for the raw smell of chili powder to go away.

Pour ½ to ¾ cup water to make a gravy. Cook covered until the gravy thickens and traces of oil are seen on top. The raw smell of the ingredients should have gone.

Add kasuri methi and taste test. If needed add more salt.

Regulate the flame to low and add cream. Stir and turn off the heat. Set this aside.

Making curry

To make malai kofta, boil potatoes until just done and not mushy.&nbsp;

Crumble them and add to a mixing bowl along with crumbled paneer, ginger paste, corn flour, salt, garam masala and chopped coriander leaves.

Also add raisins and cashews. Or you can stuff them in the koftas.

Mix everything well and divide the dough to 8 equal parts. Roll them to balls.

If you prefer, you can also flatten each ball. Place the cashews and raisins in the center and seal.

Heat oil in a kadai for deep frying. Check if the oil is hot enough by sliding in a small portion of the malai kofta mixture.

It has to rise without browning a lot. This is the right temperature. 

Wait for the oil to heat up and then slide 1 kofta ball to ensure they don&#x27;t disintegrate.

If the ball does not disintegrate or disperse in oil, then go ahead.

Slide the koftas one by one gently to the hot oil.

Deep fry on a medium flame until crisp and golden. Remove them to a steel colander or plate.

How to make malai kofta

Cool the gravy completelt and transfer it to a serving dish.

Cool the malai koftas slightly. Place them in the gravy and pour 1 tbsp of cream. (avoid adding hot koftas to hot gravy)

Garnish malai kofta with coriander leaves &amp; serve with butter naan or Jeera Rice.

Lamb Kofta

vegetable oil, divided

small shallot, minced (about 3 tablespoons)

garlic cloves,

(or ground) ginger

parsley,

mint leaves, finely chopped

salt and black pepper

Place small skillet over medium-high heat. Once skillet is hot, add 1 teaspoon oil. Add shallot, garlic and ginger (if using fresh minced) to skillet and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes.

Add cumin and coriander (and ginger, if using dry ground) and continue to sauté for 1 minute. Lightly season with salt and pepper. Remove shallot mixture from heat and slightly cool, about 10 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl combine ground lamb, shallot mixture, parsley, and mint. Season with salt and cracked black pepper.

Divide mixture into 6 equal portions and with wet hands form each portion of lamb into a 1 ½” by 7” log. Press a skewer into the center of each lamb log and form the meat around the skewer until secure, leaving about a 4” handle on the bottom and a 1” handle on top.

Place large grill pan over medium-high heat. Once pan is hot, brush with remaining oil and add skewers, about 1” apart. Grill skewers on each side, for 6 to 8 minutes or until just cooked through, with nice grill marks. Remove from heat, transfer to a platter

A must-try authentic Kofta kebab recipe: ground beef and lamb mixed with fresh parsley, onions, garlic and Middle Eastern spices. Add some Mediterranean sides and salads for your next picnic! (Ideas and video in post above)

Kofta Kebab Recipe

yellow onion, quartered

garlic

whole bunch parsley, stems removed (about 2 packed cups parsley leaves)

lb ground lamb

Salt and pepper

tsp allspice

cayenne pepper

tsp ground green cardamom

tsp ground sumac

nutmeg

paprika

Pita bread

Tahini Sauce

Tomato wedges

Onion wedges

Soak 10 wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from water when you are ready to begin. Lightly oil the grates of a gas grill and preheat it to medium-high for about 20 minutes.

Prepare pita bread and fixings. If you plan to, make the tahini sauce from this recipe. Prepare other sides and salads before you begin grilling.

In a food processor, chop the onion, garlic, and parsley.

Add the beef, lamb, bread (be sure to squeeze out the water completely), and the spices. Run the processor until all is well combined forming a pasty meat mixture.

Remove the meat mixture from the food processor and place in a large bowl. Take a fistful portion of the meat mixture and mold it on a wooden skewer. Repeat the process until you have run out of meat. For best results, make sure each kofta kebab is about 1 inch in thickness.

Lay the skewered kofta kebabs on a tray lined with parchment paper

Place the kofta kebabs on the lightly oiled, heated gas grill. Grill on medium-high heat for 4 minutes on one side, turn over and grill for another 3-4 minutes.

Serve the kofta kebabs immediately with pita bread, tahini and the fixings you prepared. See suggestions for sides and related recipes.

My mouth really watered to see your recipe. I'll try it myself tomorrow. Is it really tasty in real?
