Bhoona (or bhuna)
A type of
curry, in which the
spices are cooked in
oil with no water.
The Bhoona is the Hindi term for cooking the combination of spices (Masala) in
hot oil to release the natural oils and flavors of the spices and to remove the
raw taste. To ensure that you do not burn the Masala it is recommended that you
make your Masala into a stiff paste before frying in oil (Bhoona).
Raita
is a condiment based on yogurt
and used as a sauce or dip, seasoned with cilantro, cumin, mint and other herbs
and spices. Vegetables such as cucumber and onions are mixed in. The mixture is
served chilled. Raita has a cooling
effect on the palate which makes it a good foil for spicy Indian dishes.
Laacha
is a refreshing Indian salad of onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, with a pinch of
cumin powder.
