Mushroom ghee roast made with a spice paste from scratch. Mangalore-Kundapur inspired Mushroom Ghee Roast Recipe

I adapted this recipe from the Shetty Lunch Home episode as seen on Food Lovers. I love Kripal Amanna and his gourmet food trips. The key ingredient that makes for the ghee roast is the Byadagi chillies that’s native to Karnataka. It gives that bright red colour for the gravies and fries. I changed the recipe a little bit. I also added finely chopped onions while frying for the “gojju” effect. This turned out to be a real winner. Serve with rice, dosai, rotis, spread it in sandwiches …the possibilities are endless.

The Guntur chillies will give the heat while the Byadagi gives the smoky flavour and the characteristic red colour. Dry roast the spices on a low flame until fragrant.
