For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the chicken with the ginger-garlic paste for at least 30 minutes before baking. Adjust the amount of jalapeno pepper to control the spice level according to your preference. If you prefer a richer sauce, consider adding a tablespoon of butter to the gravy during the last 15 minutes of baking. This dish pairs beautifully with a side of raita (yogurt dip) to balance the flavors.
