Kolhapuri Chicken is a spicy and tangy Chicken side, I make quite often at home, whenever I crave the taste of coconut in my chicken gravy. Chicken Kolhapuri is certainly one of the famous dishes from the state of Maharashtra. This Chicken Curry is characterized by the red-hot color and above all the spicy taste and texture. Mutton Kolhapuri or Kolhapuri Egg or Veg Kolhapuri apart from Kolhapuri Chicken are equally famous.

Little bit about Kolhapur before going further with the recipe of Kolhapuri Chicken:

A city from Maharashtra; Kolhapur is the headquarter of Kolhapur district as well. The city is famous for its religious account as well as was one of the princely states ruled by Bhosle Chatrapati. As far as mythological detail goes, the city got the name from the demon Kolhasur.

The cuisine is rich and several items are named by the city itself which include Kolhapuri Chilli, Kolhapuri Spice or Masala, Kolhapuri Gur (Jaggery), and even Kolhapuri Vail.

Kolhapuri Chicken

Kolhapuri Chicken is a famous tangy Chicken side dish from the state of Maharastra and to be specific from Kolhapur.

This dish or any Kolhapuri dish is characterized by the use of Kolhapuri spice mix or Kolhapuri Masala. This dish, however, is perfect for those who can handle spices gracefully.

I often prepare Kolhapuri chicken for small family gatherings. I love the tangy taste of the spices and the typical aroma of roasted Coconut in the gravy of Kolhapuri Chicken. Moreover, the recipe actually is quite easy.

Kolhapuri Masala

To make the Kolhapuri Masala you need a few spices along with grated coconut or desiccated coconut. The spice mix is prepared by grinding everythingtogether. Some people prefer to use Kolhapuri Chutney while making the spice paste which is, however, not available in Kolkata. Yogurt or curd is optional however, I use it to tenderize the chicken, Moreover, it gives an amazing flavor to the dish.
