Chinese Kofta Curry

Chinese kofta curry is a classic north Indian recipe that has been passed down from generations to generations since the reign of the Mughals. It is often served in restaurants where deep-fried vegetable or minced meat dumplings (koftas) are poured in a creamy tomato-based sauce and then cooked with the other rich ingredients. The Chicken Kofta Curry recipe is popularly made during the festive occasions such as Eid, weddings or family gatherings. This chicken kofta recipe consists of yogurt and a melange of aromatic spices that is served with steamed rice, hot chapati/naan, and a fresh bowl of salad.
This traditional kofta curry recipe is only a 2-step process that involves making the kofta/dumplings using ground meat (mutton, chicken, or beef) and then deep fried. If you are not a meat lover, you can try making the dumplings with some assorted vegetables or cheese. Once fried, the dumplings are then added to a creamy tomato-based sauce and then result into a divine mixture of delicious kofta gravy. The recipe is a melt in the mouth, full of delectable flavors and can also be enjoyed with steamed rice or French bread.
