Hi Steve and Mamta,

Thanks for a great recipe. We tried Chicken Bhuna yesterday and it was so delicious!! This site is a life saver for our family.

Thanks for your hard work!

What is dry spice mix? Is it garam masala?

Took me a moment to work that one out as I am planning to give the recipe a try tonight.

It is simply all the dry spices listed in the recipe ingredients from ginger powder down to chilli powder inclusive just mixed together!

Glad you liked it !

Yes the dry spices have* on the end of them so you know they are part of the list

ginger powder*

ground black pepper*

etc

Steve

Ok, that makes sense. I just thought it was an ingredient because it was shown in the list of ingredients that's all.

Just finished the Chicken Bhuna recipe Steve - very tasty with a lovely combination of spices. Went down the fresh ginger and garlic route and with the arrival of an unexpected guest put in a chopped green pepper which seemed a good addition although not sure how authentic this is!

sounds great, like any other recipe there is always room for improvements, tweaks, changes and dietry omissions...

Steve

don't suppose you took any pictures ? - its nice to see how it comes out when people are following a recipe...

Steve

Winton, there are not hard rules about what you add to your dish. That is the fun of cooking your own. In restaurants, they would have given it another exotic name, so that they could sell it as two dishes; 'Chicken Bhuna Saada (Plain)' and 'Chicken Bhuna Shimla Mirch Masala' etc. ;-)!

Shimla Mirch is another name for green pepper/capsicum in India.

Mamta

Thanks Mamta - agree if we didn't experiment and improvise there would be no recipe development and we just as well print off your web site and send it to the printers! On the other hand I do try to stick to the recipe the first time I make it, to taste what the author originally intended, and then tweak it on subsequent cookings.

Sorry Steve no pics. Wish we could post the beautiful smells from the recipes on the site!
