Nadru ‘Ke’ Kabab

In Makhani gravy

If you happen to know any person of Kashmiri Origin, then you probably have not only heard but relished this Delicacy before. This dish is mostly served as dry kebabs with chutney. I have tasted the Dry Kebabs on a formal occasion at a friend’s place and became a fan since then. In North India, you may find these kebabs with the name of Bhein Kofta or Lotus stem kofta Curry. It’s prepared in a usual onion tomato gravy and the koftas/fried dumplings are made with boiled and mashed lotus stems mixed with gram flour and onion and condiments and fried like small pakoras and then dipped and served in a thin gravy. The flavors are different but you’ll relish each one with its own typical texture.

I make this Makhani gravy for many of my dishes. It’s amazing but you just have to change the company and it becomes a new dish altogether. I use this gravy for butter chicken, shahi paneer and malai kofta etc.

When I was making these koftas today, I thought of making them with my hot favorite Makhani gravy. The dish came out lovely as I had thought.

Try this dish and you’ll not miss going to a restaurant, for you will create and replicate the exact flavor in your own kitchen.
