What is malai kofta?
Malai kofta is a North Indian curry of soft paneer and potato dumplings (kofta) simmered in a creamy, lightly sweet tomato-cashew sauce (malai means cream). It is the dish to order if you love butter chicken but want a vegetarian plate, and it is a fixture at celebrations across India for good reason: it feels like an occasion.
Malai kofta at Passage to India
Our kitchen shapes the koftas from paneer and potato, fries them golden, and serves them in a silky sauce finished with cream. Malai Kofta is $16.99 on the vegetarian menu, and like everything we cook in Niagara Falls it comes from an HMA-certified, 100% halal kitchen.
Is malai kofta spicy?
No, malai kofta is one of the mildest curries on the menu. The sauce leans creamy and gently sweet rather than hot, which makes it the safest pick for kids and for anyone new to Indian food. If you want more heat, we can lift the spice when you order.
What to pair it with
- Garlic naan, the classic vehicle for a creamy sauce.
- Veg biryani or steamed basmati for a fuller table.
- Something bolder alongside, like bhindi masala, so the meal has contrast.
