- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (maida)
- 1 tablespoon cornflour
- Oil for frying
- 2 tablespoons tomato ketchup
- 1 teaspoon tamarind pulp (imli)

For the BBQ Sauce:
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine chicken wings with ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- In another bowl, mix all-purpose flour and cornflour. Coat the marinated chicken wings evenly in this mixture.
- Heat oil in a deep pan or kadai. Once hot, fry the chicken wings in batches until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
- Heat oil in a small pan. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant.
- Add tomato ketchup, tamarind pulp, soy sauce, red chili sauce, jaggery, roasted cumin powder, and smoked paprika. Stir well.
- Add water to adjust the consistency and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Toss the fried chicken wings in the prepared BBQ sauce until they are evenly coated.
- Serve hot with a garnish of fresh coriander or sesame seeds, accompanied by a side dip of your choice.
Note
- Use fresh chicken wings for the best flavor and texture.
- Adjust the BBQ sauce’s spice and sweetness levels to your taste.
- These wings are great with ranch or blue cheese dip on the side.
