Recipe By Slurrp

Cheesy Creamy Karela Kofta Curry is a unique and delicious twist to the traditional bitter gourd curry. The koftas are made with a mixture of grated bitter gourd, paneer, and spices. They are deep-fried until golden brown and then simmered in a creamy and cheesy tomato-based curry. The bitterness of the karela is balanced by the richness of the curry, making it a flavorful and indulgent dish.
