Chicken Bhuna/Courgette Mole
Our 2 top picks of the month’s recipes for 2 people...
Bhuna is a highly spiced yet quite mild curry with lots of character and a bit of tang from the use of tamarind in the sauce. The name describes the cooking technique of first frying the onions, garlic and spices in hot oil to form a dark, brown paste, the meat is then slow-cooked in the spice paste and its own juices which results in an intensely-flavoured, thick sauce coating the tender meat.
In Mexico ‘mole’ (pronounced mo-lay) is the name for a sauce made predominantly of chillies and a range of other ingredients including spices, dried fruit, nuts, seeds and sometimes even chocolate. This mole contains ancho and pasilla chilli, toasted sesame, dried figs, cinnamon, cumin and allspice to create a delicious deeply-flavoured sauce that goes fantastically well with grilled courgettes.
