Tips
- 💡For a richer flavor, marinate the chicken in a mixture of yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, and spices for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- 💡Adjust the amount of chili powder to control the spiciness level.
- 💡If the sauce is too thick, add a little more chicken broth. If it's too thin, simmer uncovered for a few minutes to reduce it.
- 💡You can also add other vegetables like peas, bell peppers, or cauliflower to the curry.
