Kolhapuri Chicken Handi is a rich and creamy chicken curry from Kolhapur, Maharashtra. It is made with a blend of aromatic spices and a creamy tomato-based gravy. The chicken is marinated in a mixture of yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, and spices, and then cooked in a thick gravy made with onions, tomatoes, and a special Kolhapuri masala. The masala is made by grinding together a variety of spices like red chilies, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, black peppercorns, cloves, cinnamon, and cardamom. The dish is finished with a drizzle of fresh cream and garnished with fresh coriander leaves. It is best enjoyed with hot naan or steamed rice.
