Chicken Bhuna is a flavorful dish made by marinating chicken with spices and then cooking it with onions, tomatoes, and a blend of spices for a rich and aromatic curry.
1: Marinate the chicken with salt, ghee, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, yogurt or lemon juice, ginger paste, and garlic paste.
2: Cut 3 medium red onions.
3: Dry roast the spices (coriander seeds, black pepper, cloves, black cardamom, shahi jeera, and salt) for 2-3 minutes and grind them into a fine powder.
4: In a pan, add ghee, bay leaf, cloves, and peppercorns.
5: Fry the chicken on high heat for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. (You can skip this step and fry the onions first.)
6: Remove the chicken from the pot.
7: In the same pan, add oil and fry onions until golden brown. (You can add chicken at this point as well.)
8: Add back the chicken until fully cooked.
9: Once the liquid has reduced, add fresh tomatoes and green chilies and cook until the tomatoes are cooked.
10: Serve with warm rice and enjoy!
