What a flavourful recipe of Kolhapuri masala blend, absolutely loving the gravy colour in this recipe. Lovely share.

The gravy of Kolhapuri chicken looks so delicious and flavorful. I would love this spicy curry to have it with plain rice.
That’s a great idea. Thanks a lot!
Must try recipe, kolhapuri chicken curry looks so flavorful and delicious. As I am pure vegetarian so will try to make some vegetarian dish following by your recipe.
Spicy kolaphuri kitchen is something my husband loves. I will try out the masala gravy with vegetables. Which vegetables do you suggest if I am making it vegetarian?
For vegetarian version you can add paneer of tofu. Even mix veg style curry would be good.
I prepare Kolhapuri Mixed Vegetable curry. The spices that go into making the curry base kolhapuri style is so flavourful and a bit hot. But truly enjoyable. Different from the usual Mughlai or Punjabi style curries.
This Kolhapuri Chicken seems so flavorsome. I like the vibrant colour of this chicken imparted by the Kolhapuri masala. i Would definitely add the coconut while blending the tomatoes and onions for a smooth luscious gravy.
This spicy Kolhapuri chicken curry is looking delicious and as you mentioned during rains this is a must try. With easy to find ingredients it’s a definately worth trying.
Yes definitely worth making masala from scratch!
