Dear Vineela, Tha malai kofta recipe is just simply great! The dish has really rich ingredients. You have brought out the goodness of the recipe with clear and elaborate instructions. I have lately been experimenting by cooking the koftas in the microwave and then slapping them on tava for 5 mins. A good alternative to deep frying.
