Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Make the kofta
- Scrub or peel the potatoes. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise, then crosswise into ¼-inch-thick half-moons.
- Reserve 2 [4] pinches of the shredded carrots for garnish. Finely chop the remaining carrots.
- Coarsely chop the cilantro. Set aside half for garnish.
In a medium sauce pot, add the potatoes and enough lightly salted water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, reduce to a vigorous simmer, and cook until tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the chopped carrots and peas and cook until just tender, about 1 minute. Drain the vegetables and transfer to a large bowl.
Add the chickpea flour, cumin, half the cilantro, and as much cayenne as you like. Season generously with salt and pepper. Using a fork or masher, coarsely mash the potato mixture and stir until a dense batter forms, adding up to 2 tablespoons water, if needed (some lumps are okay). When cool enough to handle, using wet hands, form the mixture into 2-inch balls.
2
Brown the kofta
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Working in batches if needed, add the kofta balls and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes. Add more oil between batches if needed.
3
Make the malai sauce; finish the kofta
To the pan with the kofta, add the malai base and ½ cup [1 cup] water and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring gently, until the sauce is heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper. Meanwhile, toast the naan.
4
Warm the naan
On the stovetop directly over a flame, or in a dry medium frying pan over medium heat, warm the naan, turning once, until lightly toasted, about 30 seconds per side. Alternatively, toast them in a toaster oven. Cut or tear in half.
Serve
Transfer the kofta and malai sauce to individual bowls. Garnish with the remaining carrots and cilantro and serve with the naan.
