Ghee roast is such a classic dish prepared across south it’s either prepared with pepper or dried red chillies. I've prepared the Karnataka version ghee roast recipe. What I love and enjoy about classic recipes is we can alter and add ingredients which we prefer and it still tastes excellent. 

As a recipe developer it is important to change the recipe and incorporate new ingredients to discover new favorite. Ghee roast is normally prepared with mutton, fish or chicken, but I have tried to use paneer which turned out utterly delicious. This recipe can be served as a starter or as a side dish for phulkas dosas.
