On 10 March 2013, 14:49:11, DalPuri mentioned Mr Lal's bhuna chicken (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2KXUCwDWv8), and later (https://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=11717.msg92042#msg92042) asked whether I had tried it yet, to which I had to respond "no". Now I have, and (IMHO) it is definitely worth a try, especially when one has no base and some fresh free-range chicken breasts :
- In a moderately tall pan, pre-heat (on high) sufficient oil to cover, to a depth of 2/3, one large red salad onion, cut or chopped into small pieces
- Add the onion and fry, without reducing the heat, for about five minutes or until golden-brown
- Add 1/2 dessertspoon garlic & ginger paste and fry for 30 seconds to a minute
- Add 11/2 chef's spoon of tinned chopped tomatoes, including juice
- Add 1 teaspoon salt
- Add 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- Add 1/4 teaspoon ground chillies, or more to taste
- Add 1/2 teaspoon tandoori masala
- Add 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
- Bhoon the spices, then add two free-range chicken breasts cut into curry-sized pieces
- Fry for a couple of minutes, then add 100ml hot water
- Add optional fresh chillies
- Add some kasoori methi and chopped coriander stalks
- Stir well, cover and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring every couple of minutes or so
- Garnish with fresh coriander and serve
Note that the entire procedure is carried out without ever reducing the heat !

Tried this tonight - did it on my BBQ, just for the hell of it. I thought it might have been a bit too much paprika at first but it does cook out, however I always think you need more salt with paprika. Very tasty though all in all

Where did you find mention of paprika, VT ? I thought that I transcribed it reasonably accurately, but didn't hear "paprika" on the video soundtrack to the best of my recollection. But I too added more salt than the recipe called for.

Looks quite an oily mess, to be honest. I'll give it a miss :dislike:
