For a richer flavor, marinate the chicken with ginger-garlic paste, cumin, turmeric, and red chili powder for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Adjust the amount of green chilies to your spice preference. Garnish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving for a zesty twist. Serve hot with naan bread or steamed rice.
