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.
