Before I dive into my quick and easy recipe let me explain how the traditional Indian kofta curry is prepared:
First, koftas are prepared - round patties made from vegetables or ground meat such as chicken (try my chicken kofta curry), lamb, or goat, mixed with aromatic spices, and then fried.
Next, a creamy tomato-based sauce with onions, ginger, garlic, and a few spices is cooked.
Finally, the koftas are added to the sauce and simmered together. The result is a melt-in-your-mouth malai kofta curry that pairs perfectly with roti, or naan. I often serve Kofta curry with Instant Pot Chickpea Biryani for a hearty meal.

Once the sauce is ready, simply add the frozen veggie-balls—no need to thaw—and simmer until they are heated through. You’ll have a delicious kofta curry ready to serve in no time.
Best of all, this recipe uses the malai sauce from my popular Butter Chicken recipe as the base that is creamy, delicious, and easy to make.
How to Make Kofta Curry
Here is my step-by-step recipe using the Instant Pot Pressure Cooker. Please check the recipe card below for a more detailed recipe that also includes stovetop instructions:
Set Instant Pot to saute(more) mode and heat ghee. Add onion, and salt and cook until onions are soft and translucent for 2 minutes, use a glass lid to speed up the process. Add ginger, garlic, turmeric, and red chili powder. Mix well. Separate the coconut cream and water. Keep the coconut cream aside. Add only the watery portion of coconut milk and pureed tomatoes mixing with spices.
