 What is Kokum?  Kokum is dark purple to black sticky fruit with curled edges. It is usually available as a dried rind, Resembling a thick plum skin. When added to food it imparts a pink to purplish colour and sweet  / sour taste to it.

This Kokum Chicken Wings Curry is served  Especially with Hot Chapatis or Handmade Rice Rowtys                         

Why  Chicken  Wings :   

1 kg Chicken Wings ( Only ) 20 to  22 pieces of washed cleaned ready to use     

If you Try to use the whole Chicken Meat  it wont taste as good as the Chicken Wings

So please make sure to use only the Chicken Wings

Chicken Wings also helps to impart its own natural Gelatine to the gravy

When you cook Wings for longer period of time The gravy naturally tends to get stickier & thicker  without additional ingredients
