How to make Prawns Ghee Roast | Authentic Kundapura Style Prawns Ghee Roast | Ghee Roast Prawns
Think of a dish that goes well with all your special items such as biryani, pulao, or jeera rice; in fact, a dish that can also be an appealing appetiser, and work well as a main course. Well, the dish we have for you today, comes straight from a seafood lover’s paradise – Kundapur, a tiny village in Mangalore! By now you must have identified that your beloved food item is none other than the heavenly prawn ghee roast.
The authentic taste of this recipe comes from the spicy masala and tender prawns. The ghee roast prawn recipe calls for a fragrant ghee masala paste with a burst of chilli, pepper, and a sour flavour from tamarind. However, there are a few cooking tips that can help you achieve the perfect taste from this ghee roast recipe.
Decide the spice level according to your preference. The authentic Mangalorean style prawn ghee roast is a bit spicy but if you like it less or medium spicy you can always reduce the number of chillies and peppercorns which will have no effect on the taste of the dish.
Use Baideygi chillies or Kashmiri red chillies that will give the dish a brilliant red colour while keeping the spice level in balance. (here I have used both)
Ghee should be extremely aromatic as it is one of the major ingredients that will enhance the flavour and aroma of the dish.
Make sure you get fresh, juicy, tiger prawns for the prawn ghee roast recipe, as it is the deciding factor for the taste of your prawn ghee roast. (here I have used Jitara Prawns)
