Mangalorean Ghee Roast is a delicious mutton curry served with rice or paratha. Cooked mutton pieces are gently simmered in a special aromatic ghee roast masala with flavors of curry leaves, ghee and other spices.
My regular readers will know that this is the third ghee roast recipe on this blog, and the first one is a Chicken Ghee Roast which I have posted long back and then later did a video on it and also Prawn Ghee Roast. As I have already written enough about the ghee roast specialty which you can read in my previous post.
I have made slight changes in this recipe by just adding ginger and garlic and a tiny bit of garam masala to enhance the flavors of mutton. Mutton Ghee Roast is perfect for a dinner party to be served with Ghee Rice or roti and also a perfect accompaniment with dal and chawal.
