Bhuna Chicken Recipe is a roasted gravy chicken curry and that is called bhuna(roasted) which is sauteed well in chopped onions and slowly cooked to get that saucy gravy. Here to make the chicken I have only used chopped onions and not the tomatoes to get the gravy and into it I have also added yogurt for extra flavor.
Do check out some more interesting recipes below:
Also check out another chicken delicacy which is chicken 65 hyderabadi style with gravy.
This bhuna chicken is liked by many as a side dish to roti recipes and can also be eaten along with rice. We need to use large quantity of onions to get the gravy and have to keep roasting this recipe on medium flame and then finally tenderizing the chicken on low flame.
One can also prefer to eat this stir fried chicken roast along with naan too. I would like to update another version of bhuna chicken with tomatoes but here I have given the directions using two ingredients that are chopped onions and yogurt.
This recipe is made mostly across north india side and can be made with many variations. Adding spices to the dish makes it even more tastier .
This recipe is mostly a roasted form slow cooking recipe. The more we roast the better it tastes.

Notes
2.When it is done with adding all the masalas then slowly cook the chicken until it is done.
3.Roasting well gives the taste of true bhuna chicken.
4.If one thinks that the base is burning then adding little water and cooking is preferred.
5.Do not add too much of beaten yogurt as the chicken turns into a thin consistency.

Looks like the onions are too much...
Asiya
it gives good gravy and you can reduce the quantity of onions if needed and balance it by adding lemon juice in the end...
Sumedha
The onions are the bade for gravy, so I think the quantity is correct. If sautéed correctly, they will make a homogeneous gravy.
Sumedha
I meant base, not bade.

You can use small or medium size pieces to make it and not large. I have shared the ginger garlic paste on my blog and will soon enable the search bar for you to look through my recipes...Sorry for the trouble....
