I have a question, though - what is Kitchen King masala? I am not sure if I can find it in the Netherlands where I live; do you have a recommendation of what I could substitute it with (like some combination of the standard spices/masalas)? Thank you so much! You have a very nice blog.

I want to try this recipe, this weekend. I would like to know can i make koftas ahead (that is a day or two) and make the gravy on that day.

Everybody loved it.<BR/><BR/>A slight variation I might try next time is - grind the onions after frying them. The traditional Shahi Paneer/Malai kofta at restaurants has a smooth gravy. <BR/><BR/>And your tip about frying koftas helped me immensely, else I'd have had a totally crumbled mess!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe!Sudhahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14207774061743453164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34998002.post-52712899594405550082007-10-12T16:30:00.000+01:002007-10-12T16:30:00.000+01:00Oh yeah...the new template looks so elegant and so are the kofthas cradled in the creamy rich gravy!!!Bharathyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03014321174810334067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34998002.post-44767428062898479602007-10-12T13:44:00.000+01:002007-10-12T13:44:00.000+01:00@usha,<BR/>Thank u usha.
