Kolhapuri Chicken Tambda Rassa is a spicy and flavorful chicken curry from Kolhapur, Maharashtra. It is known for its vibrant red color and fiery taste. The dish gets its heat from the use of red chili powder, black pepper, and Kolhapuri masala, a special spice mix made with dried red chilies, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and other spices. The chicken is marinated in a mixture of yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, and spices, and then cooked in a thick and spicy gravy made with onions, tomatoes, and spices. The addition of coconut milk gives the curry a creamy and luscious texture. Kolhapuri Chicken Tambda Rassa is best enjoyed with bhakri, a traditional Maharashtrian bread.
