As a North Indian food lover, I have always enjoyed relishing succulent Koftas in a creamy, rich gravy. Be it a fine-dining restaurant or a weekend dinner, koftas are something I am always up for. Borrowed from Persia, Koftas have become one of the most popular dishes of the Indian cuisine. Indians cook the deep-fried Kofta balls in a rich gravy made with onions, tomatoes and cashew nuts. This Kofta gravy is then served either with rice or flatbreads like parathas, phulkas or naans. Although the Mughals initially introduced mutton Kofta to India, over the years Indian cooks began experimenting with the original recipe to match their preferences. This experiment has now resulted in a plethora of Kofta curries across Indian cuisine. From the creamy Malai Kofta in North India to the Kanchkolar Kofta in Bengal, Indians relish a variety of Koftas with regional twists. We have curated a list of eight delicious Kofta recipes that you can make at home for a decadent feast. Check them out.
