3. the veggies have to be completely cooked and yet retain their shape.
4. when the veggies are steaming, gather all the ingredients required for making kolhapuri masala.
5. heat a pan and on a low flame dry roast the spices - cinnamon, cloves, black peppers, coriander, cumin, stone
flower, pinch of nutmeg powder, tej patta, nagkesar (cobra's saffron), red chilies, green cardamoms and black
cardamom seeds. skip stone flower, nagkesar and poppy seeds, if you don't have these.
6. once the spices become fragrant, then add poppy seeds, sesame seeds and desiccated coconut.
7. stir continuously and dry roast till the desiccated coconut gets golden.
8. once the spice mixture cools, then take them in a dry grinder or coffee grinder.
9. grind to a fine powder. a slight semi fine powder is also fine. the sesame seeds & coconut will release oil while
grinding. so you have to scrape the sides of the masala and grind. if difficult to grind, then add some water and
make a fine paste.

7. add turmeric powder, red chili powder and asafoetida.
8. stir and then add chopped bell pepper/capsicum. you can also skip capsicum if you prefer.
9. stir and saute till the capsicum is half cooked and yet having a slight crunch. about 5 to 6 minutes on a low
flame.
10. add the ground kolhapuri masala.
11. stir and saute for some seconds.
12. then add water. season with salt.
13. bring the curry to a simmer.

15. stir and simmer for about 2 minutes.

leaves.

and steamed rice.
