For a richer flavor, consider marinating the chicken in a mixture of yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, and a pinch of garam masala for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Adjust the amount of chili paste and cayenne pepper to suit your preferred level of spiciness. Garnish with a dollop of plain yogurt or a squeeze of fresh lime juice for added brightness. Feel free to add other vegetables, such as bell peppers or peas, to the skillet during the simmering process. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of water or chicken broth to reach your desired consistency.
