History

Malai Kofta originates from the royal Mughlai cuisine, which was known for its rich and indulgent dishes. The concept of koftas (meat or vegetable dumplings) was introduced to India by the Mughals and later adapted into vegetarian versions.

Malai Kofta, meaning "cream and dumplings," was a luxurious dish reserved for royalty, using rich ingredients like paneer, cream, and cashew paste. Over the centuries, it has become a popular dish in North Indian cuisine and is now a restaurant favorite worldwide.
