aloo paneer kofta recipe – i had made the koftas for malai kofta. half of these aloo paneer koftas went in the malai kofta curry and half were served as a snack on the next day. another kofta curry recipe on the blog is cabbage kofta curry.

these aloo paneer kofta can be made for fasting/vrat or during navratri fasting. just substitute the corn flour with fasting flours like water chestnut flour (singhare ka atta), buckwheat flour (kuttu ka atta) or arrow root flour.

i have been a lot of paneer recipes from my readers since last year. i shall be posting all the requested paneer recipes in some time. i have quite a few in the drafts.

in the recipe below i have given the original recipe which makes about 14-16 medium sized koftas. you can halve this recipe and make 7-8 koftas if required.

lets start step by step aloo paneer kofta recipe:

1: mix the grated boiled aloo/potatoes, grated paneer, spice powders, corn starch, coriander leaves and salt in a bowl.

2: mix really well and then take a medium sized ball from the mixture and flatten it.

3: place chopped dry fruits in the center.

4: bring the edges toward the center and seal the dry fruits mixture completely with the outer covering.

5: make all koftas this way. you can give any shape you want, round or oblong. i flattened them a bit for ease of frying. heat oil for shallow frying or deep frying in a pan and add the koftas.

6: carefully fry the koftas in the oil till golden brown.

7: drain the aloo paneer kofta on paper napkins to remove excess oil.

8: serve the aloo paneer koftas hot or warm with coriander chutney or sweet chutney or tomato sauce.

Enjoy!
