    Palak Paneer Kofta Curry

    Palak Paneer Kofta Curry is delicious rich nutty paneer and palak balls simmered in spicy creamy cashew tomato gravy. Palak and paneer are die-hard combo since ages. Be it in any form, both when mingle with each other the outcome is an ecstasy. Every home has variant for palak paneer kofta, some of them make it in a form of Shaam-Savera where paneer is stuffed in spinach mixture and added to the gravy, few of them make paneer koftas and slide it in spinach gravy. There is no hard-n-fast rule that it has to be made in the same way in every kitchen. Here, I have mixed both of them along with nuts and spices to make palak paneer koftas, fried it, and it was dressed with cashew tomato gravy. Spicy Palak Paneer Koftas are to die for, they just melt in mouth giving you silky, nutty and spicy kick to your palate. They tastes best when served with hot nan, parathas, kulcha, phulkas or even pulao and rice. So, what do you say ladies, your weekend special menu is ready with this yummy Palak paneer Koftas, isn’t it?? Do, try, and I am sure you all will love it.
