hey...this doesnt require any spice, like chilli powder or some masala powder is it??

@ Anu - No spice required. Tastes YUMM with the flavor of ghee itself! :)

Another tip you might like from my own experiments of today. I added a pinch of rosemary, thyme, basil, marjoram, crushed mint, from my spice rack. The aroma was too awesome!! the flavour superb. Tasted so good that madhu was denied any rice today for lunch, a follow up of the aloo tikki of thursday. Poor Guy !!!
