METHOD:
Wash your chicken drumstick well under cold running water.Pat dry them on a kitchen towel.Make fine slits on them to allow the marination go in.Sprinkle all the ingredients mentioned under marination and give a good mix gently. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours..and over night is best.Take out from the fridge 30 min before you start cooking the chicken.

Kolhapuri Chicken-step-by-step

Let us start preparing the masala meanwhile the chicken is getting all its flavours from marination.Start roasting all the spices in oil one by one.Add in the onions and fry till it is golden brown.Allow it to cool down and blend it into a smooth paste.If you add water also while grinding it is totally fine.

Kolhapuri Chicken-step-by-step

Your onion puree will be in pale brown color as shown in the below picture. Make your tomato puree ready and check my home made tomato puree .Heat a tbsp of oil in a deep bottomed kadai and pour in the onion puree .Cook it for a minute and add tomato puree. Cook it for 5 minutes until raw smell goes off.Add in red chilly powder,turmeric salt.Mix well and cook it on low flame with covered lid for 5 minutes until the gravy is half thickened

Kolhapuri Chicken-step-by-step
Add in the marinated chicken pieces and cook it on low flame with a closed lid until the chicken turns soft.This would take a good amount of 30 minutes.Keep checking in between to avoid getting burnt.Adjust salt and pour in little water if you feel the curry thickens more than required.Sprinkle garam masala five minutes before you switch off the stove and serve hot with rotis or rice.

Do try it out when you buy Chicken Drumsticks next time..it would sure please you..I always thought chicken drumsticks can be used only for preparing dry items like Tandoori but looks like gravy is also a hit(as per my guests opinion and feedback)!!
