Kolhapuri Chicken Curry Recipe

November 30, 2013 By Sangeetha Priya 16 Comments

Kolhapuri chicken curry is a very spicy curry from the Kolhapur region. If you are a spicy eater then this recipe is apt for you…Like South Indian sambar powder, goda masala (spice mix) is a must in Maharashtrian cuisine. Today’s recipe includes the making of masala at home. Honestly my kids don’t eat spicy stuffs but I prepare this for my H who loves chicken much…You can make the same curry with mutton where the authentic recipe meant for…

Recipe Adapted from here.

  • Remove the fried chicken and in the same oil add sliced onion, ginger, garlic, sugar and salt.
  • When onion changes golden brown, remove half of the onion stuff (with ginger and garlic) and blend with coriander leaves (reserve few to garnish at last).
  • Now to the fried half of the onion stuff in kadai, add the tomato puree and cook till it thickens as shown (Pic 4).
