2 tbsp cilantro, chopped
¾ cup plain yogurt
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp water

Instructions

Using a traditional mortar and pestle, make a paste from the combination of ginger, garlic, and 1 tablespoon of water. If you don’t have mortar and pestle at home, you can always use a food processor.
Transfer the paste to a large bowl and add yogurt, garam masala, fenugreek leaves, lemon juice, turmeric powder, chili powder, and salt. Mix to blend.
Add chicken wings and toss, making sure the meats are evenly coated with the marinade.
Cover the bowl with a sheet of cling wrap and set aside in the fridge to chill for an hour or so.
When the chicken wings are almost ready, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Place a wire rack on top of a baking tray and arrange the chicken wings on top of the rack.
Bake for 20 minutes or more until cooked through.
Place chicken wings in a serving platter, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, and serve.
