Every thing about malai kofta,kofta recipe,beef kofta recipe. :

Kofta is a very popular delicacy dish, rich in taste and aroma, often made during festivity, celebrations or special occasion. There are a variety of kofta gravies that one can prepare. Kofta is actually a Middle Eastern, South Asian and Balkan meatball or meatloaf. It is the simplest form of meat which is minced or ground meat. The meat is usually lamb or beef. In countries like India, Pakistan, Turkey and Iran, koftas are generally made of lamb, mutton, beef or chicken.

They are often shaped into meatballs which are prepared with a mixture of ground meat mixed with spices and cooked in creamy rich gravy. Koftas can also be made with fish or vegetables rather than red meat. Especially in India, there are a umpteen vegetarian varieties of koftas that are made with bottle gourd or lauki, aloo, mixed vegetables, paneer etc. Shrimp and fish koftas are found in southern India, coastal Pakistan and in some parts of the Persian Gulf States.

Koftas were introduced to South Asia during the Muslim conquests. In south Asian cuisine, they are normally cooked in a spiced gravy or curry and sometimes simmered with hard boiled eggs. Vegetarian koftas are generally eaten by Hindus, with the exception of Kashmiri Hindus who by and large prefer meat koftas.

Likewise, many Indian Muslims consume vegetarian koftas, including those that migrated to Pakistan in 1947. Some of my favourite and popular Kofta recipes are:
