Broccoli Cream Kofta Recipe

Step 1: To begin making the Broccoli Malai Kofta Recipe, combine all the ingredients for the kofta in a large bowl

Step 2: Adjust the salt to suit your taste

Step 3: Make bite-size broccoli malai kofta balls and keep aside

Step 4: There are two ways we can cook these koftas without deep frying them

Step 5: One is the Oven Method

Step 6: If you plan to bake the kofta's; then place the kofta balls on a greased baking sheet

Step 7: Brush the kofta balls with some oil and bake in a preheated oven (200 C) until the koftas turn golden brown in colour

Step 8: Remove the kofta's from the oven once baked and keep them aside

Step 9: The Second is the Kuzhi Paniyaram Pan Method

Step 10: If you plan to use the Kuzhi Paniyaram Pan; then place the kofta balls in the pan's cavities; drizzle the kofta's with a little oil and pan fry them until golden brown on both sides

Step 11: You will have to flip the kofta balls so they fry on all sides evenly

Step 12: The next step is to make the Kofta Curry Base

Step 13: Heat oil in a heavy bottomed pan; add the grated ginger, and honey and saute for about a minute until the honey begins to bubble

Step 14: Add the tomato puree, turmeric powder, garam masala powder, chilli powder, coriander powder and simmer the kofta gravy for about 5 minutes until the raw smell from the tomatoes goes away

Step 15: Add in the hung yogurt, 1 cup of water, salt to taste, the pan fried kofta's and simmer for another 5 minutes and serve

Step 16: Serve the Broccoli Malai Kofta with a soft Phulka's and a Paneer Pulav for a weeknight dinner or for your parties when you call friends over
