Instead of full-fat paneer, use tofu or homemade low-fat paneer. These are rich in protein but lower in fat, keeping your koftas light.

Mix in grated carrots, zucchini, or spinach to boost fibre and vitamins. This won't just enhance its nutrition but also add a great texture to koftas.

Instead of deep frying, air fry the koftas. Just brush them with a little oil and air fry at 180°C for 20 minutes for a crispy texture and less calories.

Replace heavy cream with Greek yoghurt or a tomato-based sauce. For a creamy texture, add cashew paste as it adds richness without extra dairy fat.

Serve koftas with stir-fried veggies or a fresh salad. This will ensure a well-rounded meal, and prevent overeating while keeping it wholesome.
