Ingredients
  

For the wings

  • 1 Kg Chicken Wings This was 12 full wings for me
  • 60 grams Full Fat Greek Yogurt
  • 1 Tbsp Ghee
  • 1 Tsp Salt
  • 1 Tsp Kashmiri Red Chilli Powder
  • 1/2 Tsp Tumeric Powder
  • 1 Tsp Coriander Powder
  • 1/2 Tsp Garam Masala Powder
  • 1/2 Tsp Cumin Powder
  • 1 Tsp Lime juice

For the Saag Dipping Sauce

  • 150 grams Cream Cheese
  • 150 grams Spinach
  • 50 grams Onion
  • 5 grams Ginger
  • 5 grams garlic
  • 1 Tsp Cumin Seeds
  • 1 Tbsp Ghee or Butter
  • Salt to Taste
  • Water as required

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl whisk together the yogurt, ghee, salt, red chilly powder, turmeric power, coriander powder, garam masala powder, cumin powder and juice of half a lime. This is the marinade for the wings
  • Add the chicken wings to the marinade and mix well. Allow to marinate for at least an hour or overnight.
  • Bake the wings on a wire rack in an pre-heated oven at 200C for 30 minutes. Then for an additional 5-7 minutes at the highest temperature to brown it. You can also smoke the wings or cook on a barbecue. Cooking times might vary based on the size of the wings.
  • Serve with the sauce or finish over the stove on a papad jali or stove safe wire rack for that extra char flavour.
  • For the dipping sauce melt the butter or ghee in a pan and fry the onions till they start turning brown.
  • Add in the cumin seeds, ginger and garlic and fry till the garlic starts to turn brown. Then add in the spinach leaves and cover and cook for 2 minutes till they are all wilted down.
  • Give everything a good mix, add a bit of water and once all the spinach is wilted transfer into a blender.
  • Blend everything to a smooth puree, you might need to add some more water.
  • Return everything to the same pan and rinse out the blender with water. Waste nothing.
  • Cook the mixture down for a further 5 minutes till it's a nice thick paste.
  • Whisk the cream cheese in a bowl till it's nice and smooth. Ensure that it's at room temperature before doing this. Also season with some salt.
  • Pour in the spinach puree and mix everything well. Taste for seasoning.
  • Serve with the wings.
