Aloo Kofta Recipe (Potato Kofta Curry)
We Indians love our kofta based preparations. I mean, why shouldn’t we? Something so gorgeous and delectable as fried dumplings (patties or balls) in velvety, smooth gravy is definitely hard to miss and obviously loved. For instance, take this Aloo Kofta Recipe. Potato cheese patties dunked in a perfectly spiced rich and creamy gravy – don’t you find it a winner dish, just by reading this description. Aloo Kofta is happiness!
About Aloo Kofta Recipe
The first time I tried the Aloo Kofta was at a friend’s place, many years back. The curry was made by her mother which was a tomato based one, and the koftas were made with potatoes and paneer.
It was one of the simplest versions of a kofta curry, yet so endearing that I got used to it and started making at my home as well. Till today, it is a favorite of me and my family.
My style of the Aloo Kofta Recipe has a simple stuffing and uses minimal spices in the koftas. Although the gravy that I make is a little richer and restaurant style versus a simple home one. It tastes more like the Makhani gravy.
The koftas in this recipe is made with potatoes and grated cheese. I also shape them as tikkis/patties, and shallow fry instead of deep frying. Makes it a little hearty this way. I often make this potato kofta curry for a weekend lunch.
This Aloo Kofta is great for small get-togethers, parties or weekend lunches and dinners. You can relish a meal of this kofta curry with roti, naan, paratha, jeera rice or veg pulao. The recipe can be easily doubled.
In addition to this Aloo Kofta Recipe, a few more lovely kofta recipes on this blog are Malai Kofta, Veg Kofta and Lauki Kofta. Each as delicious as the other.
How to make Aloo Kofta
Prepare Curry Paste & Potatoes
1. First, boil or steam 2 large potatoes (250 grams) in a pressure cooker, pan or steamer until they are thoroughly cooked and fork tender. Add water as required while cooking potatoes.
Drain extra water and let the potatoes become warm.
2. In another pan or bowl, heat some water till it boils. Then, add 2 large tomatoes (200 grams), 1 large onion, halved (100 grams) and 15 almonds.
You can heat the water in a pan, electric heater or microwave. Cover and set aside for 20 minutes. Instead of almonds, you can also use 14 to 15 cashews.
Note that the tomatoes and onions should be covered by the water.
3. Roughly chop the onions, tomatoes and add to the grinder and blender. Also, peel the almonds and add them to the grinder.
4. Grind to a fine and smooth paste. Cover and keep aside. No need to add any water while grinding to a paste.
Prepare Kofta Mixture
5. When the potatoes become warm, peel them. Mash very well with a potato masher.
6. Grate 20 grams cheese. You should get ¼ cup grated cheese. Here I used processed cheese. You can also use paneer or cheddar cheese.
7. Now, add the grated cheese, 1.5 tablespoons cornstarch, salt and ½ teaspoon crushed black pepper to the mashed potatoes.
Instead of black pepper, you can add chopped green chilies or red chili powder.
8. Mix very well.
9. Make medium size balls from the kofta mixture and flatten them slightly.
Fry Aloo Kofta
10. Heat 4 tablespoons oil in a tawa or griddle. First, place a small portion of the kofta mixture to check if it breaks or not.
11. If the tiny kofta does not break, then you can safely place the prepared koftas in the hot oil.
In case it breaks, then add more cornstarch (½ tablespoon to 1 tablespoon) to bind the mixture.
If you use grated paneer, then also you will need to add more cornstarch than what is mentioned in the recipe, as paneer leaves moisture.
12. Turn over when one side gets golden.
13. Fry the other side of koftas and flip again once or twice to get an even golden color. You can also air-fry or bake the koftas instead of shallow frying.
14. Place the fried koftas on kitchen paper towels. Continue frying the ones which are not done. Keep the koftas aside.
Make Curry
15. Take 2 tablespoons fresh oil in another pan or pot.
Add ½ teaspoon cumin seeds and 2 small bay leaves (tej patta) or 1 medium to large tej patta.
16. Add the prepared tomato-onion-almond paste.
17. Stir and mix very well.
18. Add 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste. Stir to combine.
19. Then, add the spice powders – ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder, ½ teaspoon Kashmiri red chili powder or deghi mirch and 1 teaspoon coriander powder.
20. Stir and sauté till the mixture thickens and you see oil specks releasing from the sides and top of the mixture.
21. Add water.
22. Stir very well and simmer the gravy for 3 to 4 minutes.
23. Add salt as per taste.
24. Add ¼ to ½ teaspoon sugar or as required.
25. Stir and add 3 tablespoons light cream (25% to 30% fat), ¼ teaspoon garam masala powder and ½ teaspoon crushed dried fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi).
Add ¼ teaspoon garam masala powder, if homemade. If store brought, add ½ teaspoon garam masala powder.
26. Mix well and turn off the heat. Don’t add the koftas directly to the gravy in the pan. The koftas will break since they are light and soft textured potato koftas.
27. Pour the hot gravy in a serving plate or bowl and place the Aloo Kofta on top of the gravy.
Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve hot with Indian flatbreads like Butter Naan, Paratha, Malabar Parotta, Roti or with rice-based dishes like Cumin Rice or Veg Pulao.
Expert Tips
- For the masala paste, you can even use 14 to 15 cashews in place of almonds. Grind the masala paste smoothly, without any water.
- I have used processed cheese in this kofta recipe. You can use paneer too. If you don’t want to use black pepper in the kofta mixture, add chopped green chilies or red chili powder instead.
- If your koftas are breaking in the hot oil, add about ½ tablespoon to 1 tablespoon more of cornstarch to bind the mixture. In case using paneer also, you will have to add more cornstarch since paneer leaves moisture.
- I shallow fry the koftas. You can air-fry or bake them too.
- If you are using homemade garam masala powder in the gravy, add ¼ teaspoon. If using store-bought, add ½ teaspoon.
- Remember not to add the fried koftas directly in the gravy in the pan. This can cause the koftas to break since they are light and soft textured.

Notes
- You can also use paneer or cheddar cheese instead of processed cheese.
- If you use grated paneer, then you will need to add more cornstarch as paneer will leave moisture.
- Instead of black pepper, you can add finely chopped green chilies or red chili powder in the koftas.
- Add ¼ teaspoon garam masala powder if homemade. If store brought than you can add ½ teaspoon garam masala powder.
- Use fresh, ripe, red and sweet tomatoes for the makhani gravy. Highly sour or tart tomatoes will make the curry base very sour.
- Instead of almonds, you can opt to use cashews.

Dear Dassana, the first word to say about this dish is it is simply amazing…fridge wasn’t working and so had nothing un-vegeterian☺…had only loads ofpotatoes, was quite hungry and nothing seems appetizing until saw this and just had to try…no almonds and was feeling hesitant about so many cashews as this is the first time trying so add a handful of peanuts and 4-5 cashews. Didnt have cream also, so skipped the sugar and add two tbsp of condensed milk…the gravy was rich, yummy, the koftas succulent. In all fingerlicking good..feel very satisfied….thank you, so so so much for all the detailed steps. Keep up…
Welcome Kimia. Thanks for sharing your positive feedback. Glad to know that you liked the recipe.
Hello,
I have a question regarding the kofta preparation.Is it possible to use corn flour instead of corn starch?
Badhreesh, yes you can use.
Nice recipe! Tried it today & the curry came out really well.. The detailed explanation is really helpful 🙂
thanks sharlet for positive feedback 🙂 glad you liked the aloo kofta curry recipe.
Is bay leaf imp. here!? What els can we use instead of it!?
nothing can be used. just skip it.
Thankyou soo much! The recipe came out so well! U r so sweet to share ur knowledge wid others! And you take a lot of effort to reply oua doubts and you encourage us too! Thank you!
welcome nashara and thankyou so much 🙂
Can cream be omitted?
yes you can omit cream.
Awesome recipe everybody in my family loved it thanks
Can you please help? I am having a difficult time to increase the ingredients for aloo kofta gravy to make 20 times the recipe. The potato kofta is easy to figure out but the gravy is not. It is my daughters favorite and would like to make it for her going away party in two weeks. Would appreciate any help you can give. Thank you.
for making gravies, it becomes difficult to scale the recipe proportionately. the balance of the flavors can go wrong. when i make gravies for large servings, i use the method of approximation (we call it as ‘andaz’ in hindi). the ingredients are added in approximation or eyeballed and then added. you can try making this kofta gravy this way.
Seems easy to calculate the first 6 ingredients of the gravy but the spices are more difficult. I will be making this amount (20x your recipe) only once. Will you please tell me if this is the right amount of spices?
oil – 2 cups
onion – 3 pounds
Tomatoes – 10 pounds
cashews – 1 pound
cream – 3-3/4 cups
sugar – 3 Tablespoons
water – 1 quart or more as needed
ginger/garlic paste – 1/4 cup + 3 Tablespoons
cumin seed – 3 Tablespoons
tumeric – 1-1/2 Tablespoon
Kashmiri chili – 3 Tablespoons
graham masala – 1 Tablespoon
coriander – 1 Tablespoon
Thank you very much.
i have tried to imagine and think the proportion of ingredients. stated in grams below. if you feel the flavor of the masala powders are not coming through, then you can always add some more.
oil – 1.25 to 1.5 cups
onion – 500 grams
tomatoes – 1 kg
cashews – 1/2 to 2/3 cup
cream – 1 cup, do add more to balance the tangy taste of tomato if required
sugar – 1 to 2 tbsp
water – 1 to 1.25 litres or as needed
1.5 tbsp ginger garlic paste
1.5 tbsp cumin seeds
1 to 1.5 tsp turmeric powder
1 to 1.5 tbsp kashmiri red chili powder
1.5 to 2 tbsp coriander powder
1 to 1.5 tbsp garam masala
Have tried this recipe and its awesome every time i make it.
glad you like them prajakta 🙂 and thankyou.
Hi I tried your recipe of malai kofta and read this aaloo kofta today which I am going to make this evening but I want to know the difference between aloo kofta and malai kofta. After reading this I don’t find them much different
thanks komal. malai kofta has khoya in it and some version even add cream or malai in the kofta. in this recipe, there is no khoya or cream added to the koftas. dry fruits are always added in the koftas. the gravy is more or less the same for kofta based curries.
I’ve made the dish today, my family like it but they loved the koftas more than the grave maybe because I added milk instead of water. But I really enjoyed it.
Thank for sharing
thanks priya for the feedback. milk will change the taste of the gravy. never mind as long as you liked the recipe.
Nice, can I use almonds instead of cream?
since almonds are already added in the gravy, you don’t need to add them again instead of cream. just don’t add the cream.
Can whole cashews be used instead of almonds? Or half amount of almonds and half of cashews?
ankita yes could try this way too but remember it would also impact the taste and flavor of the recipe.
Hi Dassana, I am a big fan of your blog and it is always my point to refer to whenever I am looking for any receipe. Thank you so much for putting this together!
I had a quick question which is on fact common for all gravies. Whenever we add tomato paste to the oil and as you mention we should sauté till the oil leaves the sides. In my case this never happens – no matter how long I do it the oil never leaves the side/ comes on top. Is there something that I am not following correctly?
Thanks
Swati
thanks swati. do you use fresh homemade tomato puree or store brought tomato paste. let me know.
Thanks Dassana for the quick response 🙂 I grind fresh tomatoes in the mixer.
Thanks
Swati
welcome swati 🙂
U r awesome.
It makes the whole idea of a guy trying to cook for family in week ends fun. Please keep the good work up?!
glad to know this sourabh 🙂 thankyou so much.
Thanks for this yummy mouth watering recipe…Gravy preparation was interesting..i am curious to know why did we soak tomato and onions in hot water before grinding it..
thanks. the soaking is just to blanch both the onions and tomatoes.
Overall really good! I think I may have cooked mine too long and it got too thick or I didn’t add enough water but the flavour was there and the fried potatoes patties were amazing! thank you for this recipe!
thankyou will for trying you could try again this recipe to the tee and you could get the desired result 🙂 and you are welcome.
frst thing quietly it looks good so i made it in ur wy…
i loved as a new starter also i feel it easy thanks to yu dassana guru..!!
welcome surya. thanks for your kind words.
quite a unique recipe since those koftas look like aloo tikkis. will definitely try it.
thanks rahul
Hi,
Having some guests over for dinner tomorrow. Do you think Aloo kofta, Methi Malai Paneer and Plain rice would go well together?
Suggestions to replace the methi malai paneer with another paneer dish are the most welcomed.
Looking forward to try it tomorrow.
Thanks!
yes they will go together since both the aloo kofta and methi malai paneer taste different. instead of plain rice, i would suggest you to serve with jeera rice or biryani rice. also rotis or naan will taste good with these curries. you can also think about palak paneer or paneer lababdar. recipes are already posted on the blog.
Hi,
I am currently in Malaysia and am having trouble to find some dry methi leaves. Since you use it in most of your recipes, I can’t make any of them 🙁 any substitute for fresh and dry methi leaves? Methi seeds maybe?
perina, for dry methi leaves you can use methi seeds powder. in this recipe one pinch is enough.
hello–
i made this tonight with your jeera rice recipe and it had a sublime sort of richness and depth of flavor. my father really enjoyed it. i use your recipes /very/ frequently. all of them have been lovely. thank you for being so generous with your knowledge.
welcome rebecca. glad to know this. thanks for sharing positive review.

Hii Dassana
Simple yet super delicious recipe… loved it… Infact I enjoyed the preparations tooo… I went wit substitues (paneer & rice flour) yet it turned out sooo well… Thanx a lot… (My hubby has sent thanx too 😛 )
Thank you for all the hard work that goes apart from sharing de recipes (back-end wrk , pics, etc )
welcome rashmi. glad to know that both of you liked the recipe. thanks for sharing motivating feedback and your variation.
hello,,recipe was good,, but the gravy was too tomato flavoured,,, n it was dark coloured than ur dish,, is ther a particular type of tomato to be used?
actually the taste depends on the tomatoes. for gravies like this larger sized tomatoes are better, since they are not too tangy or sour. thus the taste won’t be too tomato flavored.
Delicious once again! I made it with paneer and all my family members loved this recipe. I made some extra patties with cheese and served them as snacks 😉
Ek teer se do nishane.. All thanks to you!!
thank you garima. even i do the same. serve extra patties as snacks. but this was made for some guests, so just used them all in the kofta gravy.
Hi dassanna,
Beautiful koftas, is there a delay in recipe delivery?. ….I look forward to the updated blog every Monday and Tuesday. …Hope all is well at your end. .

Nice recepie. Thanks for sharing.
welcome meenakshi
Definitely i will try today……This recipe looks wonderful……thanks for sharing.
welcome sanjeev
Looks fantastic Dassna
thanks sowmya
just a quick question,
Why do u add garam maasala in the end and swtich off the gas?
usually, garam masala ko bhuna jata hai..
with your method I am confused if garam masala’s raw taste remains in the recipe.
Kindly clarify..
Amruta, there are two types of garam masala.
kaacha (meaning raw) and pakka garam masala.
in kaacha the spices are just ground.
in pakka they are roasted and then ground.
most of the garam masala which we get in the market are pakka or made at home are pakka. so they are added in the end.
Nice recepie. Thanks for sharing. Can we add fresh home made malai, instead of law fat cream?…….
welcome tejal. yes you can add homemade malai. but add while sauting the masalas.
Amazing recipe. Turned out great n yum… Thanks dasana .
welcome shrruti
Its good one, I’ll try this soon.
how much time d onion,tomato ll be boiled in pain.. if dnt hv cream den wat 2do
pragnya, you have to boil water first and then add onion tomatoes. that is blanching them. skip adding the cream.
What a fabulous recepie?….
I have tried many recepies posted by u… some of them are besan laddoos, coriander rice…those turned out superb….
I love ur all recepies… specially step by step method?

HI VERY NICE RECIPES I MADE YESTERDAY I LOVED THE IDEA
thanks meenakshi
hi mam,can you plz tell me what things should be considered while purchasing aluminium baking and muffin tray….and these will be
keep on the wire rack na…?my black tray is 10 by 10 size…but baking on it does not result so satisfactory and good thats why i plan to purchase the aluminium one…i have read somewhere that aluminium is best metal for baking…
shuchi, aluminium pan helps in even baking. just place them directly on oven rack. just go to a good shop and buy. you can buy a square pan and round pans for baking cakes. for bread you can buy loaf pans. consider the size of your oven also. make sure it fits in your oven.
How to make buttermilk for cakes. In few cake recipes u added buttermilk but how do u make buttermilk. I need to know this asap im willing to bake cake frm scratch and im not aware of buttermilk thnx u ma’am
welcome riya. just mix curd/yogurt with water in equal proportions or in the ratio of 4:6, where 4 part is yogurt and 6 part is water.
really drooling!
I will definitely try this
Can we make the kofta and sauce ahead of time and mix just for eg. before a party, if so any specific care to take while re heating?
-Laxmi
thanks laxmi. yes you can do it. the sauce will thicken a bit. so add some water.
This aloo kofta curry looks absolutely tempting and i loved the idea of cheese as a rich ingredient added into it…as soon as i saw the recipe i found it very interesting,rich and innovative.. Great idea of kofta curry with potatoes …..
thank you asiya.
Wow !!!!!!
I ll try it soon 🙂
do try and happy cooking 🙂
Hi
I love your site and often cook using your recipes..
one small grammatical correction.
Refer to your line ‘paneer will leave moisture’ as
‘Paneer will release water and hence require addition of more corn starch..’
I hope you dont mind, me correcting you.
thanks amruta. i have not used the word water as technically paneer won’t leave water. there is some moistness in the paneer and that will be released when mixed with the other ingredients. the moisture is not much. when the word water is used, it looks like the whole kofta mixture will become wet and batter like. thats why i did not use the word water. i did think about this when writing the post. thanks for letting me know 🙂
same pinch…
I too made aloo kofta yesterday 🙂
instead of mashing potatoes, if we use grated potatoes, the koftas are more spongy and soft.
i also made dumplings with little cheese inside them henceforth by reducing tomato quantity in the gravy.
thanks niveditha for the suggestions and tips. and yes same pinch 🙂
awesome recipe, you’re my mentor i also start food blog, recipe from my mom, nani and some twisted recipe of my own thank you very much for inspiration.
thank you hercules. yes you can start your own food blog with recipes from your family and your own innovative ones. its a creative journey.
