Paneer Ghee Roast | पनीर घी रोस्ट
Paneer Ghee Roast is a very popular Mangalorean dish and is an infinite glee while eating. Duce it with Chapati, Rice, Neer Dosa or Appam and it makes a magnificent meal. It can also be enjoyed as a snack, it can be dry or semi-gravy, the choice is yours!!
This recipe hails from a small town called Kundapur near Mangalore. The ghee flavoured red-hot, spicy, tangy dish soon became very popular and travelled to other places. The original version was actually made using chicken, fish, prawns etc, and eventually, the Veg version too emerged which I will be sharing today. The basic masala (Spice mix) for all versions remains the same and the authentic version is actually very spicy. Paneer ghee roast can be made in the dry form to serve as an appetizer or in the gravy form to serve as a main course dish. So, let’s learn step by step process to prepare this recipe.
