Indian Chicken Curry For Beginners - Bhuna Chicken Recipe - Chicken Kosha
When it comes to an Indian style chicken curry there are countless variations of making it. Each region has its own unique recipe. Today I will be making a spicy dry type of chicken curry commonly called as Bhuna Chicken in hindi or chicken kosha in bengali. “Bhuna” in hindi or “Kosha” in Bengali means to fry the chicken along with spices without adding any water. The chicken will get cooked in it’s own liquid so this curry is more on the dry side, but you can always add water if you want it on the gravy side.
