Cheers. Looking forward to trying this out.  Making base is a bit of a chore.  Already got a karahi dish; sorted!  Seriously though, I may have to cancel my pre-order.  Have the feeling Jiggy and the Ashoka are about to pull my trousers down.

Bhuna is a cooking technique, so as long as it's cooked bhuna style (which this recipe isn't) it could be cooked in your grandad's old tin piss-pot and it'd still be bhuna.  ;D

It shouldn't be in the BIR section though, you're right there.

No need for apologies chap. It's a good read. I would have done the same and posted here had the recipe been published in the Birmingham Post.
