For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the chicken in a mixture of yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, and a pinch of turmeric for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Adjust the amount of chili powder to your preference for spiciness. You can also add a chopped green chili for an extra kick. Ghee adds a rich, nutty flavor to the dish, but you can substitute it with butter or your preferred cooking oil if desired. Fresh cilantro is essential for the final flourish of flavor and aroma. Don't skip it!
