Ghee roast masala is a spice blend that is commonly used in the cuisine of the state of Karnataka in South India, particularly in the coastal region of Udupi. The blend typically consists of a mixture of spices such as coriander seeds, cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds, mustard seeds, black pepper, and red chili peppers. It is often used to flavor dishes that are "ghee roasted," which means that they are cooked in a generous amount of ghee (clarified butter). Ghee roast masala is particularly popular for use in dishes such as vegetables, seafood, and meat.
