Ghee roast is a classic Mangalorean preparation with a blend of aromatic spices that are dry roasted and ground before using in the recipe. You will find all sorts of ghee roast in Mangalorean cuisine – chicken ghee roast, mutton ghee roast and this very delicious prawn ghee roast!
Good amount of whole spices are first dry roasted along with spicy dry red chillies; then they are ground to make a powdered spice mix. This unique spice blend is key to make a good Mangalorean prawn ghee roast.
The reason it is called ghee roast is because the chicken, meat or prawn, whichever you are using, is sautéed in a generous amount of ghee with the spice blend and they get infused with the beautiful flavors of all the warm spices.
