Bhoona* is a technique that is essential to Indian cooking.
The bhoona technique means that the mixture is cooked over medium-high
heat, with constant stirring to avoid scorching, until all liquids
are reduced and the spices coat the meat like a paste.
About 1/2 cup of water can then be added, the dish covered, and
a gravy created as the dish becomes liquified again. |
