🕒 20 minutes for preparation | 30 minutes for cooking | 🍽️ 4 servings 🧍 Ingredients:

For the Masala Kolhapuri:

1 tablespoon of coriander seeds

One teaspoon of cumin seeds

One teaspoon of sesame seeds

One teaspoon of optional poppy seeds

One tablespoon of dry coconut (flakes or grated)

Two to three dry red chilies (depending on the degree of heat)

One or two cloves

One-inch cinnamon stick

Two black peppercorns

One green cardamom

One teaspoon of fennel seeds

One cup of cauliflower florets for the curry

One cup of chopped carrots

Half a cup of chopped French beans

Half a cup of green peas

Half a cup of diced potatoes

One medium onion, cut finely

One medium-sized sliced tomato

1 tablespoon of garlic-ginger paste

Two tablespoons of oil

Add salt to taste.

Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.

Instructions:

1. Get the Kolhapuri Masala ready.

Roast all of the masala spices in a dry pan over low heat until fragrant.

After letting it cool, crush it into a fine powder.

2. Boil the Vegetables: In salted water, parboil the potatoes, cauliflower, carrots, beans, and peas until they are about 80% done. Drain and set aside.

3. Prepare the curry base by heating little oil in a skillet. Sauté the chopped onions until they turn golden brown.

Sauté the ginger-garlic paste for one minute.

Cook the tomatoes until they become tender.

Sauté for one to two minutes after adding two to three teaspoons of the prepared Kolhapuri masala.

4. Add the cooked vegetables and simmer. To coat with the masala, thoroughly mix.

To change the consistency of the curry, add water as necessary.

Simmer, covered, for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the flavors blend and the vegetables are cooked.

5. Add some fresh coriander leaves as a garnish before serving.

Serve hot over steamed rice, chapati, or puri.

✅ Tips:

If you are pressed for time, you can use store-bought Kolhapuri masala.

For a fuller texture, mix in some grated coconut or roasted peanuts.

To control the amount of spiciness, adjust the red chilies.
