    Most of us love a good kofta curry. I love all kinds of kofte.Lauki/ghia, paneer,malai kofta,nargis kofta,vegetable kofta,cabbage kofta. However, I do understand how much it sets me back on my diet plan. Once a while any kofta curry is good for you, but what happens when you have guests coming over almost every weekend. You do not want to treat them to same curries. So here is a kofta recipe which is different, Mushroom Kofta curry.

    Mushroom vegan dumplings in a vegan curry is just delicious. This desi mushroom recipe is easy to make too.This recipe is similar to traditional recipe but less time taking. Also,you need no cottage cheese. Most mushroom recipes are simple and easy.It is also lower in calories. One cup paneer roughly has 350 calories while fried mushrooms only has only 150.

    Notes

    Add a teaspoon garam masala powder to the kofta if you like. If you want to avoid cashews, you may add some coconut milk to the gravy for a creamy texture. Add a teaspoon salt accordingly to adjust the taste.

     Top tips

    1. Add some oil to your palms, when mashing and rolling the koftas,to avoid mixture from sticking to them.
    2. Once fried,place the kofta on tissue paper to reduce excessive oil.
    3. If you do not have stock powder,you may some stock of boiled vegetables.Adjust salt accordingly.
