Keto Malai Kofta (Paneer & Cauliflower)
Keto Creamy Paneer & Cauliflower Dumplings
Yes, with a tweak: crucial modifications: koftas made with paneer and cauliflower (no potato, no flour/besan). About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Pakistani food, so watch the portion.
What it is

Key ingredients
Paneer, cauliflower, heavy cream, yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, green chilies, onions (minimal), tomatoes (minimal), melon seeds/almond paste (keto thickener), ghee/oil, cardamom, white pepper, salt, fresh coriander.
How to make it keto

Watch out for
Traditional koftas contain potato/flour. Gravy often uses cashews, onion paste, or sugar. Starchy thickeners are common. High-carb side dishes.
