Paneer Kolhapuri is a very popular Kolhapuri dish which is rich in Paneer and spices. Usually served with Chapati, poori or any Indian Breads. Kolhapuri is a city in Maharashtra and this is one of the famous and popular dish. Spice is on the little higher side in this dish and I love this spicier gravy with Indian Breads. Also this time, I made this awesome dish on a fasting day and hence this is a No Onion No Garlic dish. This No Onion No Garlic Paneer Kolhapuri subzi is good with fried rice or pulao also.
