For a richer flavor, marinate the chicken in a mixture of yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, and a pinch of turmeric powder for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preferred level of spiciness. Garnish with extra fresh parsley or a swirl of cream for an elegant presentation. If you don't have buttermilk, you can substitute with plain yogurt thinned with a little milk.
