Sainsbury's Lamb Bhuna
What it is
This is a ready-to-eat lamb bhuna, a classic Indian curry. It features tender pieces of lamb simmered in a rich, spiced tomato-based sauce. The sauce is typically made with onions, garlic, ginger, and a blend of aromatic spices that create a deep, complex flavor profile. It is designed for convenience, offering a taste of traditional Indian cuisine without the need for extensive preparation.
How people cook with it
Lamb bhuna is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or as part of a larger Indian meal.

To prepare, simply heat the lamb bhuna according to the package instructions. This usually involves transferring the contents to a saucepan and gently simmering it over medium heat until thoroughly heated through. Alternatively, it can be heated in a microwave. Ensure the curry is piping hot before serving. It is best enjoyed immediately after heating. You can adjust the consistency slightly by adding a splash of water if it seems too thick.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to a korma, lamb bhuna has a more robust and spicier flavor profile due to the prominent use of tomatoes and a wider array of spices. It is generally less creamy than a korma and has a thicker, more concentrated sauce.
