What is Lauki Paneer Kofta or Lauki ka Kofta ?
One of my favorite vegetarian meatballs is Lauki Paneer Kofta, popularly known as Lauki ka kofta. A quintessential kofta/vegetarian meatballs recipe from the northern part of India. In India, ‘Lauki’ also known as Opo / Squash, is a popular summer vegetable and if you have also grown up in India like me, you would have had Lauki in some form….curry/sauteed. And these Lauki Paneer Kofta are everyone’s Favorite be it any age.
What Did You Need to Make Lauki Paneer Kofta?
It’s a simple recipe and you need the following: For Kofta / Meatballs: Lauki / Opo Squash – shredded and squeeze any excess water. Paneer / Cottage Cheese – shredded Besan / Chickpea Flour (GramFlour) – plain or raw Basic Spices – turmeric, chili, salt Fresh Cilantro / Coriander – optional
Making the Lauki Paneer Kofta: Just mix the mentioned ingredients and form balls. Then saute/fry the koftas to golden brown perfection over low-medium heat. (this along with less fillers makes this an extremely soft+delicious combination).
Once the koftas are cooked, keep then in a plate and make the sauce. Once the sauce is cooked, add the koftas and serve along with a favorite choice of side.
I did go a step further and decorated the kofta’s using whisked yogurt (yup, this is light and healthy), fresh cilantro and chopped almonds. This adds not just a great look but makes it even more delicious.
