Hectic outstation trips, and then returning to the hotel in the evening! Sounds similar I guess (especially to those who opt for the trips often) but believe me those trips are not that bad. Especially when the days ended with the local delicacy. Wherever I have worked, trips are always been part of my responsibility. The company I was associated with previously had given me the opportunities to explore the southern part of the country. I had been to Chennai, Mangaluru, Kerala, and Bangalore several times during my 3.5 years with that assignment. I have tried some authentic southern food and in fact, I cherished to the core. In this post, I am going to share the recipe of one of my favorite Mangalorean delicacy, Mutton Ghee Roast which I had several times during the trips in South India.

Notes
Adjust the number of dried chilis as per your taste bud. I prefer moderately spiced Mutton Ghee Roast.
Ghee is must for this recipe, so don’t count the Calorie!
If you wanted to store the Masala paste, make and store it in an airtight container. Add Onion, ginger, and garlic just before cooking.
