Kolhapuri Egg Masala is very spicy and delicious egg gravy prepared using dry coconut , black peppercorns and spices. Kolhapuri is recipes have more heat in it and this one too is quite spicy. But I have altered the original recipe to get more thick gravy and also reduced little heat . Still this Kolhapuri Egg Masala is a spicy and delicious. The recipe gets the main flavour by roasting , spices and dry coconut on low heat till fragrant.

Notes
- You can use Red chilli powder(2 Tsp) instead of Dry Red Chilly and Coriander Powder(1 Tsp) for Coriander seeds.
- It is a thick gravy but you can adjust water for required consistency.
- If you want it to be less spice,then reduce the amount of red chilly to 3-4. I have used 3 Guntur red Chillies and 3 Byadgi, so it was not that spicy because of Byadgi Red Chillies.
- Goda Masala is kind of spice blend widely used in Maharashtra , if its not available use garam masala
