Bhuna chicken is a popular Indian dish that is made with marinated chicken that is cooked in a spicy tomato-based sauce. The chicken is first marinated in a mixture of yogurt, ginger, garlic, and various spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric, which helps to tenderize and infuse the chicken with flavor.

The marinated chicken is then cooked in a tomato-based sauce that has been slowly cooked with onions, garlic, ginger, and a blend of spices. The sauce is thick, rich, and intensely flavorful, with a deep, smoky flavor that comes from the slow cooking process.

Bhuna chicken is typically served with rice, naan bread, or roti, and is garnished with fresh cilantro leaves. It is a popular dish in Indian restaurants and can also be made at home using a few simple ingredients and cooking techniques.
