Indian Cuisine – Maharashtrian recipe
Hello friends,
Searching for authentic kolhapuri recipe? then you are at the right place. being born and bought up in a place where i have always cherished having maharashtrian food. This is something that can never be replaced with any other dish. Only reason being its unique flavours and combination of spices. i have tried almost all the maharashtrian authentic delicacies so far. Also, i can assure you that this recipe is something that you would cherish having it.
—— STEP 1 ——
Firstly let us prepare a fresh batch of Goda masala or Kolhapuri masala for this recipe. you can also store this mixture for up to 1 month in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Ingredients for Kolhapuri masala mixture :
Dried Kashmiri chilli, Cinnamon stick, black peppercorns, khas khas (poppy seeds), sesame seeds, cloves, black cardomom, fresh grated coconut, almonds, cashews.
dry roast all of the ingredients. cooldown completely and make a coarse to fine mixture of it in a grinding jar. You can add water to make it a liquid paste or keep it dry. when its watery you have to consume it immediately. when it is grinded without water you can refrigerate for a longer period. Add 1 tspn coriander powder at last and grind it or you can also use dry roasted whole coriander seeds
——STEP 2——
Saute the below mentioned vegetable for around ten minute on high flame. Give continuous stirring until their coating are roasted till golden brown. Mind that we don’t want the vegetables to be fully cooked. The rest 30 % we will be cooking with the gravy so the flavors are infused into the vegetables.
Green peas, Carrot, capsicum, Cauliflower, French beans, potato. These are the must have veggies for this dish.
—— STEP 3——
We need gravy for this dish in which we will be adding this vegetables and spice mixture. so in a blender jar we take onions, tomato, ginger, garlic cloves, green chilli. grind it to fine puree. set aside.
—— STEP 4 ——
Heat oil in a pan. Pour the gravy mentioned on step 3 and cook until the raw smell has completely gone. (indicating that the gravy and oil is separated around the edges). Now add the spices like turmeric powder, red chilli powder, kashmiri chilli powder. Add salt as per taste. add 2 tspn of kolhapuri masala mixture that we prepared from step one and add sauted vegetables also. Make sure you coat each and every vegetable thoroughly before adding any water. Cover and cook on a medium high flame. Adjust salt. Add half a tspn honey (optional). Add crushed kasuri methi.
once we add water the flavours wont get infused into the veggies. so remember only for adjusting the consistency we add water. crush a spoonful of kasuri methi between your palms and sprinkle it over & mix well. Garnish with finely chopped coriander leaves. Mix well so that the leaves do not turn darker due to the heat. Turn of the flame.
Things to Note:
- Do not over cook because we need crisp veggies for this dish and not soggy ones.
- Do not adjust the consistency to over watery. Because this dish tastes best only when it is in thick gravy form.
- Do not skip any spices mentioned in step one. Because only those will give you the authentic kolhapuri taste.
- Taste best with Phulka roti or tandoor roti.
Have a nice day.
