For an even deeper flavor, marinate the chicken in a mixture of yogurt, ginger, garlic, and a pinch of turmeric for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Adjust the amount of chili peppers to control the heat level of the curry. Remember that the flavor will continue to develop as it simmers. Serve with basmati rice and naan bread for a complete and satisfying meal.
