Dosa is a delicious Indian recipe that’s usually served as a breakfast, and especially this brown crispy ghee roast is my all time favorite that’s topped completely with ghee, these are the classic few Indian dishes that I have always adored and craved a lot to have it every day for my breakfast.
But I have never imagined myself to cook this yummylicious Ghee roast and when I tried it out, it worked like a charm, I was awed by the way this ghee roast turned out, I could actually bring the cone shape near to perfection.
In restaurants, we have seen ghee roast served like a cone, these dosas greatly amuses me and it’s actually a must to order dish when ever am out to a restaurant. My daughter always calls this as Cone Dosa and by default her first choice in any restaurant is Ghee Roast.
Preparing a ghee roast at home is a simple task and u can very well bring the cone shape and treat your family with this mouth watering Ghee roast.
