I have long believed that base gravy/garabi/whatever has no place in an authentic bhuna dish, but with the sole exception of RivalSavage's Takeaway Bhuna Recipe (http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=5043.0) (published 2010), none of the bhuna recipes that I have so far looked at on CR0 meet this criterion. So, having eaten Mrs Bari's chicken bhuna several times over the last few weeks, I decided to have a go at creating one myself. I started by looking at all the Indian cookery books that I have, but the majority make no mention of chicken bhuna (or even of bhuna(o) as a technique). Of those that do, Camellia Panjabi's Bhuna gosht (Delhi) looked potentially good but too time-consuming for this evening, Prashad describes the process of bhunao but the absence of an index to his Cooking with Indian Masters was a major disincentive to searching for a recipe, Kurana/Naran/Jetha's The Curry Book had a recipe for "Dry bhuna mushroom and prawn curry" but required use of a liquidiser, with which I coudn't be bothered, and Hobson's 1000 classic Indian recipes required yoghurt, out of which I had run. So in the end I turned to my old stand=by, E P Veerasawmy's Indian Cookery (1969). Mr Veerasawmy (born Edward Palmer !) makes no mention of the word bhuna(o), but his Dry chicken curry seemed to be that for which I was searching. I didn't follow his recipe to the letter, but used it for inspiration.
So, I took one medium onion, one clove of garlic, sliced both very thinly and saut

I have a book you might be interested in Phil, but its such a pain to read that if you have the time, I'd be grateful if you could edit it into a more easily readable format.
Cheers, Frank.

Just downloading it now, Frank. Ah, now I have opened it, I see I have a copy in hardback ! When you say "it is not easy to read", what sort of "more easily readable format" did you have in mind ? Being a PDF, it is not easy to edit (possible, but definitely not easy).

No problem Phil, if you already have the book then leave the editing.
I wanted it to be a single copied page per PDF page rather than a double photocopied page that you have to zoom in to.
I read all my ebooks on an 8" tablet so not easy to read.
One day I'll have an A4 sized tablet ;)

That's more like it!
