Bhuna masala is one of the most common everyday spice mixes in indian cooking. It is made of roasted and powdered spices, and gives the curry a reddish-brown hue, a rich flavour and appetizing aroma. It hails from eastern india, and is popular in the north too. The bhuna masala is at the heart of this delectable bengali-style subzi, which features a range of antioxidant and fibre rich veggies along with calcium-rich paneer. A good dose of tangy tomato puree makes the flavour of the dish even more interesting. The vegetable bhuna masala tastes superb with rotis, puris or rice and dal.
