Ghee has to be used for roasting?

Yes, ghee, onions and ginger garlic paste have to be added separately they are not included in this paste. You can refer to the QR code at the back of the pack to download a few recipes for you to begin with. Hope this answers your query. Regards, Team Lily Aunty's Masala

How much paste should I be using for 1kg chicken? 🙂

Boneless chicken medium-spicy one tablespoon is good however you can measure your spice levels and add more if you want it spicier. For chicken with bones, 1 1/2 tablespoon is good however you can add more if you want it spicier. The recipe is at the back of the pack, scan the QR code and download it. Hoping this helps!

It can be use in fish fry?

Hi, you can try our other product All Fry Masala, which works excellent for fish fry. Mangalore Ghee Roast works best for a semi-gravy for chicken, prawns and mutton. Hoping this helps. Regards, Team Lily Aunty's Masalas

Don't follow their recipe

Heat the appropriate amount of ghee, fry the given masala for like 2 minutes when the smell of fresh roasted chillies hits your face it's ready. Keep the masala on simmer now, put a lil ginger garlic paste and do put some extra salt because it is under seasoned. At the end add your chicken/prawns/red meat/paneer and cook until the masala is semi-thick. Tastes amazing. While the masala itself is very good , it's very pricey. Would be amazing at 125-150 rather than 250.

Saves cooking time with flavor

Product by itself is multi-purpose and is up to user to be innovative in the kitchen. For a dish of 4 servings 1.5 Table spoon paste is adequate to enjoy true flavor as its consistency is very good This is surely a worthwhile purchase for Konkan & Maharashtrian recipes in particular

NOT A GHEE ROAST MASALA

THIS IS NOT GHEE ROAST MASALA in any way ! The name MANGALORE GHEE ROAST MASALA is completely misleading , ghee roast masala must have Ghee as the main ingredient, and NOT VINEGAR !!! If someone is looking for a ghee roast masala that you have tasted in mangalore , I bet you will be utterly disappointed with this masala made with just vinegar and chilli powder !

I have to thank Lily Aunty for not adding Ghee & keeping this vegan. The best masala

I have been craving ghee roast ever since I went Vegan. I have prepared this twice once with oil and the other with Vegan ghee. Ofcourse Vegan Ghee gives that extra ghee flavor. but both the versions are spot on. I have made them with mixture of Jackfruit & mushrooms and its excellent I made in Small quantities. Now I am on Diet so after 3 months will order and try it with Soy chaap, & so many other meat substitutes available even with Bread fruit. Again thanks for keeping it Vegan. I think you can put Vegan label on the product.

Must buy if you want to make ghee roast

I never thought I could make chicken ghee roast at home until I tried this out. The quality of the paste is amazing.. does not have that taste of preservative and such. Will definitely be buying this again.
