Start with clean and skinned chicken. Remove any loose skin. Wash the chicken and pat dry with paper towels.
To make the marinade, combine the yogurt, grated ginger, minced garlic, lime juice, gram flour (besan), salt, and all of the dry spices (Kashmiri red chilli powder, turmeric, garam masala, coriander powder and dried fenugreek leaves) in a large mixing bowl. Mix the contents well.
Toss the chicken pieces in this marinade and combine well to ensure the chicken pieces are uniformly coated with the marinade.
Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator. Let the wings marinade for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours or overnight for a deeper flavor.
Grill in the oven or air fryer. Or add to a curry or biryani to be cooked. Enjoy!
