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.

Try using any kind of spiciest red chillies like Guntur,Kashmiri red chilli along with Byadgi Chillies to get that deep red colour . I have used 3 Guntur red chillies and 3 Byadgi chillies , You can add more dry red chillies if you want more heat. At home , everyone loves this spicy curry .It has got good balance between spices and heat . At winters , when there is chill weather around I love to eat this spicy egg curry with Hot Roti's and dollop of butter ...., Yum !

Serve this hot with any kind of Tandoori Butter Roti , Garlic Naan ,Whole Wheat Rumali Roti, Mughlai Paratha , Kulcha , Chapati or Phulka.

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
