Kolhapuri Mutton represents the crown jewel of Maharashtra's Kolhapur region cuisine and is a popular
centerpiece of our mutton thali at Ninja Tiger. This legendary dish hails from the royal kitchens of
Kolhapur, where the Maratha warriors' love for bold, spicy food gave birth to this fiery delicacy.
Our authentic preparation begins with premium cuts of fresh mutton, carefully selected and marinated
with traditional spices before being slow-cooked to perfection in a rich, aromatic gravy made from
our house-special Kolhapuri masala blend – a complex mixture of roasted dried red chilies, coriander
seeds, cumin, black peppercorns, and other warming spices.
What makes our Kolhapuri Mutton exceptional is the depth of flavors achieved through traditional
cooking methods and authentic spice combinations. The masala is prepared by dry roasting whole spices
until fragrant, then grinding them fresh to create a paste that forms the soul of this dish. The mutton
is cooked slowly in this intensely flavorful base along with onions, tomatoes, fresh coconut, and
ginger-garlic paste until the meat becomes fork-tender and absorbs all the rich, spicy flavors.
The result is a curry that's both fiery and deeply satisfying, with each bite delivering the authentic
taste of Kolhapur's warrior cuisine that has been perfected over centuries.
