About
Bhuna is a traditional Indian dish known for the long, slow cooking of spices, meat, and vegetables. The term 'bhuna' refers to the method of cooking, where spices are gently fried in plenty of oil to extract their true flavor. The dish is cooked in its own juices, which is what gives the dish its distinctive deep, rich flavor. Usually, it contains meat like chicken, beef, lamb or prawns, although a vegetarian option can also be made.
