Bhuna masala is a basic simple masala made with red chilies, garam masala, and garlic that is used for flavoring different types of meat and vegetable curries. The Indian spices used are rich in spiciness, flavourful and aromatic.
- Firstly soak some red chilies in water. Boil and keep aside.
- To the red chilies, add garam masala, garlic and grind to a fine paste. Remove all the masala in a bowl.
- Add ½ cup yogurt in the masala and mix well. Put the chicken pieces in the yogurt masala mixture and mix well.
- Add salt and mix again. Marinate the chicken coated with masala for about 2-3 hours in the refrigerator.
- In another pan, add in some mustard oil. Once the oil comes to a smoking point, add the chicken pieces only without the extra masala and fry slowing till the masala almost dries off.
- Then add the remaining leftover masala and mix well.
- Cover with lid and cook until the chicken is cooked and the bhuna masala gets dried completely.
Serve hot with roti, chapatti or rice
