Malai kofta in a creamy sauce
A typical Malai Kofta. Each restaurant makes its own version.

About Malai Kofta

Malai kofta is a rich vegetarian dish of fried dumplings made from paneer and potato, served in a creamy, mildly spiced sauce of tomato, cream and nuts.

Regional versions

North Indian restaurants usually serve it in a red tomato sauce, while some make a white sauce with cashews and cream. The koftas are sometimes stuffed with dried fruit.

What to order with it

It is rich, so pair it with plain naan or rice and something lighter, such as a dal tadka or a salad.

On the menu: 40 places

How this list is made

We started from public records, OpenStreetMap and Overture Maps, searched town by town for places those records miss, and read each restaurant's menu from its website or online ordering page. Places whose opening hours we could not confirm recently say so, and we check them again every month. Dishes marked "on the menu" come from the restaurant's own website or ordering page. "Usually served" is our best guess from the style of the place, so call ahead if you have your heart set on it.
