We had chicken yesterday so instead of a bhuna made out of chicken, I prepared it with pork. I must say, the hubby said it was tasty.
I cheated a bit by using ready made bhuna sauce bought from Sainsburys. But to freshen it up, I added chopped carrots, whole red pepper and a chopped onion to the pan.
If you want to start from scratch here is a lovely recipe.

2 medium onions, halved and finely sliced
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
25g ginger, peeled and finely chopped
