VEGAN MALAI KOFTA | must-try Indian recipe
Recipe Information
Vegan Malai Kofta
Cultural Context
Originating from North India, Malai Kofta is a beloved dish that showcases the rich, creamy flavors of Indian cuisine. Traditionally made with paneer and cream, the vegan version substitutes these with plant-based ingredients, making it accessible to a wider audience. This dish is often served at festive occasions and celebrations, symbolizing hospitality and warmth. Today, vegan adaptations have gained popularity globally, allowing more people to enjoy this comforting dish without compromising their dietary choices.
paneer
🥗Healthier: tofu
💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese
Tofu is lower in calories and offers a similar texture.
coconut cream
🥗Healthier: coconut milk
💰Cheaper: heavy cream
Coconut milk is lighter while still providing creaminess.
chickpea flour
🥗Healthier: oat flour
💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour
Oat flour is gluten-free and adds a nutty flavor.
mixed vegetables
🥗Healthier: zucchini and carrots
💰Cheaper: frozen mixed vegetables
Frozen vegetables are often more affordable and convenient.
Grind cinnamon sticks, cardamom, cloves, and cumin seeds in a mortar and pestle.
Chop 3 large tomatoes and set aside, including juices.
Heat oil in a skillet and toast whole spices for 45-60 seconds.
Add chopped onions and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened and colored.
Stir in ground spices: red chili powder, turmeric, and coriander; cook for 30 seconds.
Add chopped tomatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add soaked cashews and kosher salt; cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
Blend the gravy with coconut milk and lemon juice until smooth, then return to the saucepan.
Add kasoori methi and garam masala to the gravy before serving.
Boil Yukon Gold potatoes, then grate them and let dry for 10-15 minutes.
Blend soaked cashews into a powder in a food processor.
Crumble super firm tofu in a food processor until it resembles crumbled cheese.
Combine grated potatoes, crumbled tofu, cashew powder, cornstarch, red chili powder, garam masala, chopped cilantro, minced ginger, and salt in a bowl.
