Paneer Kolhapuri is a popular paneer recipe full of rich, spicy distinct Kohlapuri flavours. Kolhapur is a city in the state of Maharashtra, India. It is renowned for its spicy cuisine and this paneer recipe is no exception.
Paneer Kohlapuri is quite an easy recipe. The unique flavour of this dish comes from freshly ground spice mix. Each household in Kolhapur will have their own secret blend of ingredients and proportions of the ingredients.
This regional specialty is full of flavours and is a real treat for paneer lovers. The fresh aromas of the spices that fill the kitchen while cooking the recipe is enough to make anyone hungry. My family loves this paneer over any other popular paneer recipe. Kohlapuri dishes are earthy and aromatic and not for the faint hearted as a lot of Kolhapuri dishes are popular for being extremely spicy. I have toned down the chillies in this recipe as paneer is a delicate ingredient and would get lost if the curry is too spicy.
The flavour of spices, the delicious taste and the aroma of the gravy all makes Paneer Kohlapuri a perfect indulgent dish.
