Ghee Roast Powder – a ready spice-mix to make ghee roast recipes.

Ghee Roast recipes are a huge favourite in my family, be it Chicken, Prawns, Paneer, Mushroom or Egg Ghee roast. Once a fortnight, I do make a ghee roast dish. Hence, it becomes very convenient to have a ghee roast powder readily available instead of making the ghee roast masala from scratch. With the ghee roast powder handy, it doesn’t take long to whip up a ghee roast dish.

Ghee Roast Powder is made by roasting and blending few handpicked spices. This powder has a good shelf life and can be stored at room temperature.

Ghee roast recipes are native to coastal Karnataka . It is one of the popular recipes of Mangalorean cuisine. The recipe calls for cooking meat/seafood/ veggies in generous amount of ghee and spices. The masala for a ghee roast recipe requires roasting of red chillies, whole spices and then making a masala paste which can be time consuming. Hence, having ghee roast powder handy reduces the cooking time of ghee roast recipes.
