A lot of festivals are celebrated in Kolhapur. When it comes to festivals, how can we stay far from its cuisine. Festivals call for food and more food. Kolhapur cuisine is noted for special mutton curries. Besides, they prepare a lot of vegetarian curries, egg curries and snacks. They call their dry curries Rassa, which are quite spicy, and there in lies my interest.... a hot, spicy dry or regular curry. I picked up one of their dry egg curry last week to recreate in my kitchen. I explored through a number of recipes but liked this one from a noted site. Let us see how we do it. {Sourced from the WIKI}.
