What is chicken Bhuna

Chicken bhuna is usually an Indian.” Bhuna” is a Hindi word that means roasted. This dish comes from a cuisine where the spices, onion & garlic are roasted slowly until they release their flavor into the container. Firstly the chicken is marinated with different spices.

Chicken bhuna is the perfect balance of Spices and gives a flavorful taste. Although this dish is Indian, it is available in almost all restaurants in Bangladesh.

Why Chicken bhuna is popular in Bangladesh

Chicken bhuna is popular in Bangladesh because of the following reasons:

It is inexpensive and can be cooked quickly, which makes it convenient to make when people want something quick.

The spices used in chicken bhuna also add flavor to other foods such as rice, dal, chapatti, etc., so you can combine them with your food at any time of the day or night without having to use extra spice or salt because chicken bhuna has already been seasoned.

It has a wide variety of dishes that you can serve along with chicken bhunas like salads, vegetable pulao, puri, and even fruit salad. Chicken bhuna goes well with all these dishes, so there is no need to buy separate ingredients from different stores for each dish when you have everything right here!

Chicken bhuna tastes good no matter what kind of curry you cook it with because it uses both yogurt and coconut milk which makes it very tasty by itself and adds a lot of flavor to other curries that go well with the chicken itself!

The benefit of chicken bhuna

Chicken bhuna provides plenty of vitamins like vitamin B12, which ensures an adequate supply of energy to our cells throughout the day, helping us stay alert all day long!

Vitamin B12 promotes normal cell growth, formation of red blood cells & white blood cells. Vitamin B12 also promotes nerve function & maintains myelin sheath around nerves essential for proper brain function!

The secret of Bangladeshi Chicken Bhuna Recipe

In this recipe, I use regular chili powder, but you can use Kashmiri red chili powder. It gives a bright red color to this dish and Makes it more interesting to look at, and it’s less spicy too. So you can use it and enhance your recipe color.

You can use fresh tomato for thick gravy, and it adds some extra color to this chicken bhuna recipe. It also adds to a good texture. If you want, you can make tomato paste in it. The use of tomatoes adds new flavor to this recipe.

You can remove the green chili if you want. It adds a fresh chili freshness and spicy taste. Those who want to eat fewer spices can skip it.

Always try to marinate the chicken for a long time. The chicken has to marinate for 30 minutes; it is best to marinate overnight. Because the more it is marinated, the more it tastes.

The chicken should be stirred repeatedly while roasting. Otherwise, spices will stick to the bottom of the pan, and the herbs will burn, so it’s occasionally stirring.
