Instructions

Roast and dry grind to a coarse powder. This is a closer version of the Kolhapuri masala. The original one has few more spices, which are difficult to get outside Maharashtra. However this spice blend is equally good for Kolhapuri dishes.
Heat oil in a pan and add garlic paste. Saute.
Tip in the finely diced onions and saute until translucent.
Next add the tomato and cook until it is soft.
Tip in the mixed vegetables of your choice. Add turmeric powder and salt.
Saute for a minute and add 2 cups of water.
Cook until half done and add the Kolhapuri masala powder. Stir it and simmer to cook.
When almost done add the coconut milk.
Stir carefully and adjust the gravy to your liking.
