Vidhi:

Kofta banane ke liye:

• Ek bartan mein paneer, mashed aloo, cornflour, namak, lal mirch powder, haldi, adrak, hari mirch aur dhaniya patti ko acche se mix karein.

• Is mixture se chhote-chhote kofta bana lein aur unhein haath se halka sa press karke shape de lein.

• Ek kadhai mein tel garam karein aur usmein kofta ko golden brown hone tak fry karein. Iske baad kofta ko nikal kar tissue paper par rakh dein, taaki extra oil absorb ho jaye.

Gravy banane ke liye:

• Ek kadhai mein tel aur ghee garam karein. Fir ismein pyaaz, lehsun aur adrak daalein. Inhe bhunein, jab tak pyaaz golden brown na ho jayein aur masalon ki khushboo nikal na aaye.

• Bhune hue masalon mein tamatar daalein aur sabko acche se mix karein. Tamatar ko masalon ke sath pakayein, jab tak tamatar naram ho jayein aur masala achhe se ghul jaye.

• Ismein bhigoye hue kaju, malai, dahi, lal mirch powder, haldi, dhaniya powder aur namak daalein. Acche se milayein aur masale ko 2-3 minutes tak pakayein, sath hi sath masale ko acche se mix karte rahein.

• Ab ismein thoda sa pani daalein aur gravy ko acche se ubal aane tak pakayein. Dhyan rakhein ki gravy thick ho jaye, lekin bahut dense na ho.

• Gravy ko blender mein daalein aur acche se blend karein, taaki wo smooth aur creamy ho jaye.

• Gravy ko wapas kadhai mein daalein aur gas par garam karein. Ismein garam masala powder, kasuri methi aur shahad daalein. Acche se milayein aur gravy ko thoda aur pakayein, taaki masalon ka swad aur khushboo acche se blend ho jaye.

• Ab ek serving dish mein gravy ko daalein aur upar se taza taza fry kiye hue kofta rakh dein.

• Malai kofta ko dhaniya patti se garnish karein aur garam-garam serve karein. Aap ise naan, roti, ya pulao ke saath enjoy kar sakte hain.

Kuch aur tips:

• Kofta ko fry karne se pehle, kofta mixture ko 10-15 minutes ke liye fridge mein thanda hone ke liye rakh dein. Isse kofta ka shape aur texture acche se banege.

• Gravy ko creamy aur rich banane ke liye, aap cream aur dahi ke alawa thoda sa khoya (mawa) bhi daal sakte hain. Isse gravy aur bhi makhmali ho jayegi.

• Kasuri methi ko haatho mein crush karke daalein, taaki uska swad aur sugandh acche se release ho sake.

• Agar aapko gravy mein aur thickness chahiye, toh aap gravy ko ubalte waqt thoda sa cashew paste ya poppy seed paste bhi daal sakte hain. Isse gravy aur bhi creamy banegi.

• Malai kofta ko aur swadist banane ke liye, aap kofta ke andar kuch khushboo bhara masala daal sakte hain. Iske liye, kofta mixture mein thoda sa garam masala powder, kasuri methi, aur roasted jeera powder add kar sakte hain.
  

• Kofta ko aur mazedar banane ke liye, aap usmein kuch dry fruits jaise kaju, badam, aur kishmish bhi mix kar sakte hain. Ye kofta ko texture aur swad dono mein aur richness dega.

• Malai kofta ko serve karte waqt, aap usse thoda sa malai aur taja dhaniya patti se garnish kar sakte hain. Isse kofta ka swad aur presentation aur bhi behtar hoga.

• Agar aapko masale se jyada chatpata swad pasand hai, toh aap kofta banane ke liye thodi si amchur powder (dry mango powder) bhi daal sakte hain. Isse kofta ka swad aur chatpata ho jayega.

• Toh yeh rahi aapki malai kofta ki mazedar recipe. Aap ise ghar par bana kar apne parivar aur dosto ko khush kar sakte hain. Malai kofta ko garam-garam serve karein aur uske saath naan, roti ya pulao ka aanand uthaiye.
