Prawns Ghee Roast

Ghee roast is one of the most popular delicacies of Manglore. I saw this recipe in  kudpiraj mam’s blog in which he  and his wife recreated the dish. The pic of dish they put was tempting and  mouth watering.   So I thought of trying it soon. Ghee roast is my hubby’s favourite so thought to prepare it on our 15^th wedding anniversary. Thank you kudpiraj mam for awesome recipe we all loved it very much.
