Malai Kofta Vegetable Dumplings In Curry Sauce
Adapted from a recipe i saw on the vah reh vah (vah chef) cooking show. This is really good - not too watery or too creamy. Make sure you slice the onions very thinly, add the salt to them and cook them for a fairly long time until they are a caramel color. Make sure to add the full amount of water to the sauce as well. The amount of spices may seem like a lot, but trust me, it's good!!
