Kofta Ingredients

Method

Kofta Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Kofta Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the paneer, mashed potato, chopped cashew nuts, raisins, garam masala, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

  2. 2

    Shape the Koftas

    Divide the mixture into small balls (about the size of a golf ball). If the mixture is too sticky, add a little cornflour to help with shaping.

  3. 3

    Fry the Koftas

    Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Carefully drop the koftas into the hot oil and fry until they are golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
