Malai kofta also known as Makhani  kofta is a very popular and most preferred dish in vegetarian dining, it originally is dated to the Mughal Empire. The Mughals for some centuries ruled over India, while I am sure as they carried some recipes and spices from India  they also left a great impact on the way certain dishes are cooked  here. The dish was likely experimental,which in all likelihood was done by the royal chefs who experimented with different ingredients and different techniques.

Malai (makhani) ,is cream or butter in English, so basically this dish is the amalgamation of different flavors, which will tantalize your taste buds, The Kofta are made of vegetables or paneer balls,so basically the gravy is made in a very rich creamy sauce in which these dumplings are dipped .
