Kolhapur is known for its hot and spicy Cuisine. Kolhapuri masala is made with dry red chilies, coconut and lot of spices. I had some authentic ready masala powder that was sent to me by a cousin living there. You can prepare it at home as well. I have shared the link of the recipe in the post.
Delicious veg and non veg dishes can be prepared with this masala.
Today I have made mixed vegetable curry. You can use any vegetables of your choice. This can be served with plain rice or bhakri.
Ingredients:
Potatoes ... 2 (cut into cubes)
Green peas .. 1/4 cup
Carrots ....... 1 (cut into pieces)
Capsicum.... 1 (cut into big pieces)
Garlic paste .. 1 tbsp
Onions ........ 1 large (diced finely)
Tomatoes ... 1
Turmeric powder .. 1/2 tsp
Salt .............. to taste
Kolhapuri masala .... 2-3 tbsps (as per your liking)
Coconut milk .......... 4-5 tbsps
Oil ...................... 4 tbsps
