The Paneer Kofta Curry Recipe is a delicious preparation paneer (homemade cottage cheese) that is simmered in a spiced tomato gravy. Kofta's are traditionally deep fried vegetable or cheese balls that are dipped in a spicy curry. This recipe of kofta is healthy as the kofta's are not deep fried but instead made in a kuzhi paniyaram pan. If you do not have this pan, then you can bake it in the oven too and you will get the same result. The gravy is something that I make all the time is mild and sattvic without the addition of onion and garlic. The result is an absolutely delicious curry!
