A bhuna is a type of curry in which the spices are cooked in oil with no water.
Bhuna curry originates from the Indian subcontinent, particularly popular in regions like Bengal and Punjab. The term "bhuna" refers to the cooking method where spices are sautéed in oil, allowing them to develop deep flavors before adding meat or vegetables. This technique results in a rich, aromatic dish that highlights the spices used. Over time, bhuna curry has gained popularity in various cuisines, especially in British Indian restaurants.
Pakoras, bhajis, curries*.ect. *Korma, madras and bhuna.
Korma is the obvious choice but other options are a Pasanda, which is creamy like a khorma but cooked with different spices and nuts or a Bhuna which is a red brown curry, very aomatic and flavourful, but not spicy hot. (:
Tikka is a dish prepared by grilling the pieces of chicken or paneer or meat on charcoal (without keeping the pieces directly on coal, but in heat of coal) or traditional tandoor while bhuna means to cook or grill something by putting it directly on coal.To grill tikka, the pieces of (lets say) marinated paneer are hanged above burning coal with the help of rod. The distance between burning coal and paneer pieces is approx 10-20cms depending upon the heat required.Bhuna means to grill something by directly placing it on burning coal. There is direct contact between item to be grilled and coal, but in Tikka there is no direct contact of coal and item to be grilled.

Generally it is classed as braising and is a popular method of cooking in many international cuisines. Moroccan cuisine uses a tagine, to cook meat and vegetables for a long period with little liquid (Morocco by the Sahara doesnt have much water), it utilises the natural liquids in the meat and added ingredients to produce a wonderful delicate stew. We found some tagines on Kitchenaria www.kitchenaria.com ideal for the job. Examples of other international dishes using this method of cooking are Indian in particular the bhuna dishes which produce a dry delicate curry richly enhanced with spices and natural flavours and little liquid. Generally low slow cooking without liquid ensures the juices are recycled into the dish so a tight fitting lid is required but the results produced are very flavoursome and intense of the ingredients cooked with, the dishes steam themselves.
No one dish can be called a national dish in India. The immense diversification means that the food and food habbits vary incredibly in India and rich tradition and culture and vedic and Persian knowledge has resulted in huge number of spices being used in India and the resulting permutations have produced huge number of dishes in India. Of course the main fooding habbits are as per the areas major food source and geographic orientation but you will be surprised to know that it is even difficult to pin down on dish in one community in India as that being their main dish. Indian dishes and curries as that have been made famous outside India like tandoori , tikka, bhuna are primarily from north western part of India and curries with name madras on it are basically denoting south Indian curries but they are very generic in naming and preparation and so would led one to believe that one of those maybe a staple dish for the country. Far from it! If you visit places like Hyderabad and Kolkata you will be amazed at the diverse quisines and preparations. Being an Indian I have not tasted all the major recipes from all the parts of India yet so you can pretty well imagine how hard it is to answer your question :)
