NOTES
1.This recipe requires stirring and roasting initially.
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.
