Homemade Barbecue Sauce with Pakistani Spices

This Homemade Barbecue Sauce is spicy and sweet at the same time. This is my version with the kick from spices. It is easy and quick to make. This sauce can be used as a marinade or a dipping sauce.

Does not contain:

  • 🍅 Artificial Colors
  • 🍅 Ketchup
  • 🍅 Corn
  • 🍅 Dairy
  • 🍅 Vinegar

I make this recipe with tomato paste instead of ketchup. I do use soy but it can be simply left out if you cannot consume soy. This sauce uses spices to get the bbq flavor mainly cumin, if you do not like cumin you can leave it out.

  4. Now this is my kind of bbq sauce recipe! I'm astonished about how many 'homemade' recipes use tomato ketchup, and I'm so glad to find this one that doesn't! It's got all my favourite spices in it too.

  7. This looks like such a great sauce. I like how you omitted the ketchup as I really feel that's 'cheating' in a way. It really is simple to make bbq sauce without it.
