This melt-in-your mouth delicacy may take a bit of time and effort, but the end result is so flavorful, that you'd want to me make it over and over again. The Malai Kofta is a special dish for those who think paneer is a vegetarian's delight.

The kofta broke in the oil while frying. It went all flat and I had to throw the paneer and the oil. Could you please tell me what I could have done wrong?
