Cover the skillet and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
For a richer flavor, marinate 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 powder to your preference for spiciness.
Serve over basmati rice or with naan bread for dipping into the delicious sauce.
Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves for a pop of freshness.
For a vegetarian option, substitute the chicken with paneer (Indian cheese) or chickpeas.
