Cut the carrot into thick pieces this way.
Cut the cauliflower also into small pieces.
Cut the stalks of the cauliflower into small pieces as well.
Peel off the potatoes as well and cut into tiny pieces.
Heat the oil.
Remove the seeds and cut t capsicum into tiny pieces as well.
Our vegetables are now cut.
The oil is hot.
Now we'll fry the vegetables.
We have cut the vegetables and made a paste of tomato and ginger.
Now we'll fry the vegetables.
The oil is now hot.
Once the oil is hot, add potatoes and fry them till the.y become crunchy
Fry till they become cruncy.
If you do not like oily food then you can even boil the vegetables instead of frying.
The taste of the dish increases if made in oil.
The potatoes are little brown in colour, so we'll take them out from the pan.
Now add cauliflower to the pan.
Make sure that you fry the vegetables on high flame so that they fry quickly and do not obsorb the oil.
Fry the carrots as well.
Take out the vegetables once they are crunchy.
Add capsicum to the oil and fry a little.
Our capsicum is now crunchy so turn off the flame.
Take it out from the wok.
Our vegetables are fried, so now let's make the kolhapuri dish.
Remove all the oil from the pan and just leave 2 tbsp in it.
Our vegetables are ready but now we'll prepare the gravy.
But first we'll prepare the masala.
Roast sesame and cumin seeds a little.
Roast them a little and add coconut as well.
Make sure to add coconut and sesame in veg kolhapuri as this gives it a very different taste.
Add coconut as well and fry till they change colour.
Roast it on low flame.
Our coconut is now roasted.
Turn off the flame.
Take out the masala in a bowl.
If we are using pure garam masala, then add it in this as well and roast.
Once the masala gets cool, then we'll grind them.
Let it cool.
Now let's make the dish.
Once the masala is cool, we'll grind it.
Till then heat the oil to make the dish.
Once the oil is hot, we'll add asafetida to it.
Add turmeric powder, coriander powder and roast the masala a little.
Now add the paste of tomato and ginger.
Add red chilli powder.
This is kashmiri red chilli, which gives the dish a different colour and taste.
Fry the masala till the oil does not separate from it.
Keep stirring the dish.
Turn the stove on low flame.
Till then let's grind the masala.
Our masala is now ready.
Oil has separated from the masala so now we'll add the other masala to it that we had prepared using coconut, cumin seeds and sesame.
Roast a little and add cream as well.
Roast the masala for another 2-3 minutes till the time the oil separates from it.
If you wish to add onion and garlic then youb can do so and roast it with asafetida.
You can use almond paste, khus khus or mawa to prepare the paste. We have made the paste using tomatoes.
The oil has separated from the dish, now add green peas to it and roast a little.
We have taken frozen peas so they are a little soft. If you take fresh peas then make sure to boil them first.
The oil separates from the masala.
Our masala is now ready.
Now add 1/2 cup water to it.
Add salt as well.
You can add salt as per your choice.
We have added 1/2 tsp red chilli powder.
But if you like eating spicy food, then you can increase the quantity of red chilli.
Add garam masala as well.
Once the masala starts to boil, add all the vegetables.
Mix thoroughly.
Cover the dish and let it cook for 2-3 minutes.
3 Minutes are over and our dish is ready.
All the spices are mixed inside the vegetables and we get a good fragrance from it.
Garnish the dish using coriander leaves.
Turn off the flame.
