This is from her book..verbatim

Add the onion and cumin and fry gently until the onions are golden brown
Add the sliced pepper to the pan and cook until soft
Add the G/G paste, salt, red chilli powder, tomato puree and chopped tomatoes, stirring frequently

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.

a wee bit about the author of recipe

"bhoona" is a style of cooking and also a recipe; "karahi" is a type of cooking container; where is the conflict ?

I made this when I got the pullout thing in the Sunday Mail weeks ago and it was delicious and that's what matters. I got the book last week and I've made the Bhuna again and also the Chicken Chasni which was also excellent. The book is gallus so it is.

This is from her book..verbatim...recipe above is correct
Im sorry but I don't think it is correct. Is the recipe in the book flawed, or just your typing?
I made the recipe this evening and guessed that the curry powder and turmeric goes into the pan at the same time as the chilli powder, but the recipe in post #1 doesn't actually say.
The result was pleasant enough and would get 3 out of 5 stars from me. The sauce was rich, due presumably to all the chicken juices and fat from 400g fresh chicken. But I think it probably needs a lot more spices in order for curry flavours to rise above chicken flavours.

According to my book, this line:
Add the G/G paste, salt, red chilli powder, tomato puree and chopped tomatoes, stirring frequently
should also include the turmeric and curry powder as suggested a couple of posts above.
