Restaurant style veg kolhapuri

Veg Kohlapuri is a spicy and tasty mixed vegetable based recipe which comes from South Maharashtra. Kohlapur is famous for its spicy and pungent flavours. The Kolhapuri masala is freshly made for the curry. Vegetable Kolhapuri is best served with chapatis, bajra bhakri or jowar bhakri, phulkas and even parathas. We even had it with bread.

5. Now, add finely chopped onion and saute till they are light golden or golden.
6. In a blender, make a smooth paste of tomato, green chilli and ginger.
7. Now, add tomato paste to it and mix well. 
8. Stir continuously till the tomato pulp thickens up and releases oil.
9. Add turmeric powder, kashmiri red chili powder, roasted jeera powder, coriander powder and salt and mix well.
