About This Dish

Chicken Bhuna is a semi-dry, intensely flavorful North Indian curry made by slowly roasting marinated chicken with aromatic spices until thick and rich. The term "Bhuna" refers to the technique of sautéing or roasting the masala to bring out deep flavor.

6. Add the marinated chicken to the pan and cook on high heat for 5 minutes.
