How to Cook 'Kala Vuna' a Bengali Traditional Food

Bhuna is a term you usually find on café menus which are vastly found Bangladeshi Restaurants. It is one kind of traditional food which is known as the 'Kala Vuna' in the Bengali language. It alludes to cooking meat with flavors with practically no water included. This requires steady blending to avert the flavors adhering to the base of the skillet however the subsequent dish is rich and exceptional in flavor from the caramelisation of the onions and the singing of the flavors. I've made things simpler here by including a little water yet do ensure that all or a large portion of it evaporates so there is no loss of flavor.
