Bhuna masala or basic curry masala is ready to be used in various curries, vegetable and non vegetarian dishes.Bhuna Masala Recipe is a ready fried masala paste used for making thick brown-red curry / sauce or base. Bhuna means to fry in India hence the title. It hails from North East India, Calcutta and also some parts of Uttar Pradesh.
