Ron Glass' Bombay Chicken

Updated: Aug 18

Ron Glass was best known as Detective Ron Harris on Barney Miller (1975-1982). In 1992, he also played Lieutenant Hanrahan in Murder, She Wrote's "Incident in Lot # 7" (the "Psycho house" episode).


Here is Ron's (I'm told) quite good Bombay Chicken recipe. It was famously tested by one Mr. Rathbone, HERE, a home cook aficionado and follower of my brilliant friend and renowned author, Jenny Hammerton, of "Murder, She COOKED," fame. Here's Mr. Rathbone's exclusive (and delicious!) photo of the dish.

And here's Mr. Ron in Murder, She Wrote
