Pea kofta curry (Matar kofta curry)

Also called: Pea kofta curry, Matar kofta, matar kofta curry, mutter kofta, pea kofta, pea kofta curry, matar kofta gravy, matar koftaa, pea kofta masala

Matar kofta curry is that rich, restaurant-style gravy with soft pea koftas dunked in a spiced tomato-onion masala. It’s the kind of dish you spot at family lunches, wedding buffets, or when someone wants to make a normal dinner feel a bit special. Warm, comforting, and full of desi flavour — bas isme indulgence ka proper tadka hai.

Key Takeaway: One bowl of Pea kofta curry (Matar kofta curry) (175g) contains 1042.5 kcal, 3.5g protein, 7.4g carbs, and 111g fat. This curry has a little gut-friendly goodness from peas, onion, tomato, ginger, garlic, and coriander. Peas bring some fibre, and the tomato adds vitamin C, while ginger and garlic can feel soothing for digestion and help the body handle a heavy meal better. But this version is also very rich in fat — 111g per serving — so it can sit heavy on the stomach, especially if you already have acidity or a slow digestion day. A practical tip: pair it with plain phulka and a kachumber salad, and keep the portion small so the gravy doesn’t overwhelm your gut.
