Topic: What is the "Bhoona" (or "Bhuna", or "Bhunao") Technique used in Indian Cooking?

[Cory Ander]

Where the forum lets itself down, and by 'itself' I mean ourselves, is our sometimes 'over the top, vicious, sarcastic, belittling and totally repugnant responses to other members just because we've missinterpreted their post or their opinions differ somewhat

But, to be honest, Ray, there WAS none of that in this thread, was there?  Well, until....??

In my 50 Great Curries of India cookbook I think the author also describes a bhuna process as using the oil, spices and meat together with no extra water. In this case it is the meat itself that is limiting the oil temperature from burning the spices.

Thats whats missing from this thread PaulP, sources of the definition, I don't remember where i read it was sauteing using small amounts of liquid. Looking it up on the web would be pointless. How these processes relate to bir in 2011 is another question.
This thread could run for years

[Onions]

Can those, that allude to knowing, please elaborate on what they understand to be the "bhoona" (or "bhuna", or bhunao" technique that is used in BIR (and traditional) Indian cooking?

You are missing a closing parenthesis.

I have not posted on this site for a long time,but feel I MUST respond to your post here
I agree and understand that it is the techniques and understanding of cooking spices etc that will produce a good result.
It still remains that lots here still believe in" magic ingredients"
They don't get the results they want frustration then takes over,rudeness. silly abusive posts etc Hours wasted on forums instead of learning how to cook good currys
 I lived at Hanwell for some years and learned loads from chefs in Southall,good shopping there as well.
Ii hope some others read and learn from your refreshing post and thanks for sharing the links ;D
