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

I never claimed it was my own work I altered some words so as not to annoy the writer

I do apologise, i'm sure the original writer is fine with that.    :

Mmm, i'm surprised not to have seen a "report to moderator" message come in after an ad hominem attack    Maybe it only works when certain people are involved  :

Excellent post Prospero.  Thank you for the insight and for posting links to the orginal material and other related reading for our benefit.  I think your post's content could be considered as a "golden nugget" of information, invaluable to all those on the BIR quest, old and new.

Something similar was posted on the site before but unfortunately for reasons better known to the poster , he omitted to name the original source and no credit was not given to its author 

I actually read this elsewhere too   It not only explains why technique is so important, but it goes on to explain the science behind it which helps people understand what is actually going on in the frying pan and why the results are often not what was desired  .  All those that aspire to cook BIR curry IMO will benefit from reading it more than once 

In fact, i think I'd better read it several times over to see where i've gone wrong recently with my vindaloo 

And i really don't think we need to clutter up this thread with what is written in another, do you?  I will delete those remarks so that we can continue to discuss the the title of the topic, rather than past events.  If you disagree, you have a  PM button to use
