Veg kolhapuri recipe with step by step photos. Thisspicy thick coconut based mixed veg curry origins fromkolhapur, Maharashtra.Kolhapur is a historical city of Maharastra. Kolhapuri cuisine is noted for its spicy fiery hot recipes. Veg kolhapuri, kolhapuri bhel, kolhapuri misal are some very famous dishes from the region.
Authentic veg kholhapuri recipe is a very spicy and pungent. I have also prepared this as traditional veg kholhapuri recipe that is spicy and flavorful. You can however tame down the dish as per your spice tolerance level.
Kolhapur is also spiritual place to visit. The kolhapur Mahalaxmi temple is one of 108 shakthi peethas.
I got this veg kolhapuri recipe from a friend who is from Maharastra. She has savored all these dishes from authentic kolhapuri cuisine firsthand. Right from vada pav, misal pav, kolhapuri bhel and kolhapuri dal. I have tasted veg kolhapuri and paneer kolhapuri many times from my favorite restaurant here. If you love spicy food then this kolhapuri veg curry is the best bet for you 🙂
This recipe of veg kolhapuri uses kashmiri red chilies instead of lavangi mirchi or lavangi chilies. So this veg kolhapuri has a deep red color but low in heat.
For this veg kolhapuri recipe I have used potatoes, carrots, beans and green peas. You can use any 2 or more vegetables. The masala for this kolhapuri curry is freshly made. This is a dry powder that you can store airtight for many uses. I made veg and paneer kolhapuri with the same.
Serve veg kolhapuri with naan, butter naan, kulcha, roti, jeera rice, plain steamed basmati rice.
