Indian BBQ Sauce

Indian BBQ Sauce

We first made this Indian BBQ sauce to accompany ribs, we removed the vinegary ketchup and replaced it with some sour tamarind and it works brilliantly. It’s a really rounded BBQ sauce, not spicy, well not unless you load it with chilli or chilli powder.

You could also use this Indian BBQ sauce with chicken wings or a chop or even with some griddled vegetables.
