Method
-
1
Dry-roast coconut in a pan stirring until very dark brown — almost charred.
-
2
Dry-roast onion until edges char. Dry-roast whole spices and chillies briefly.
-
3
Blend all roasted ingredients with Kolhapuri masala and minimal water into a very thick, very dark paste.
-
4
Heat 3 tbsp oil in a heavy pot. Add chicken pieces.
-
5
Cook on high heat 5 minutes to brown.
-
6
Add the dark masala paste. Fry stirring for 6 to 8 minutes on medium — the masala cooks out and the oil surfaces.
-
7
Add kokum and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil.
-
8
Cover and simmer on medium-low for 40 to 50 minutes (free-range chicken needs longer) until completely tender.
-
9
Uncover. Cook 5 minutes to concentrate the gravy.
-
10
Season with salt.
