Instructions
- To begin making the Bhuna Murgh recipe, wash and clean the chicken pieces in water and apply salt and lemon juice all over on chicken pieces as a marinade.
- Cover the bowl of marinated chicken with a cling wrap and set in refrigerator.
- Heat ghee or oil in a non-stick pan and add bay leaf, clove, cumin seeds, green and black cardamoms, cinnamon, pepper corns and aniseed and wait till they crackle.
- Add finely chopped onion and keep stirring.
- Add green chilies, minced ginger and pounded garlic and saute till oil begins to separate.
- Now add fine chopped tomatoes or pureed tomatoes and season them with turmeric, coriander powder, red chili powder and garam masala powder.
- Simmer the flame and cover the pan for 3-4 minutes.
- Take off the lid and keep stirring until the onion-tomato mixture softened and seems like a bhuna paste.
- Now add chicken pieces and saute well with bhuna mixture.
- Add 2 cups of water, cover the pan, simmer the flame and leave to cook until chicken is well done.
- Once the chicken is nicely cooked and tender and the bhuna masala has started to thicken, add crushed kasuri methi and cashew paste (optional).
- Mix well, and cover the lid to cook for another 5-6 minutes. Garnish the dish with fine chopped coriander leaves.
- Serve Bhuna Murgh along with Garlic Naan, Peas Pulao, Mint Raita and Salad for a weekend night dinner.
