    Stuffed Tomatoes in Malai Gravy

    It is not often that tomatoes are used as the star of a recipe. They are often added as a pulp to thicken gravies or used as a vegetable in a dish with something else being the main ingredient. Stuffed Tomatoes in Malai Gravy is therefore one dish that you must try and taste.

    Stuffed Tomatoes in Malai Gravy is a delicious Indian curry where fresh tomatoes are stuffed with a rich paneer stuffing and then simmered in a creamy gravy.

    It is a thick, creamy, sweet and tangy dish with just the right amount of acidity and spice. If you are getting bored of the regular gravies and looking for something different to make, these tomatoes stuffed with paneer, potatoes and dry fruits in a creamy gravy are a very good option. I made these for a few guests who were visiting us and everyone just loved it.

    Stuffing ingredients in a vegetable bowl is a very inventive technique, and showcases your cooking skills. For more such stuffed recipes, try out the Bharwan Baingan or the Lauki Nazakat which are equally thick and delicious. Here is how to make Stuffed Tomatoes in Malai Gravy:

      Looks great. Can khoya be replaced with something? I live overseas and it’s not readily available.

        You can mix some milk powder with water and use it in place of khoya.
