Recipe View 2 mins Remove the cloves, cardamom pods, and cinnamon stick before serving. These are added for flavor infusion but are not meant to be eaten.

For a richer flavor, marinate the chicken in a mixture of yogurt, ginger, garlic, and curry powder for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
Adjust the amount of curry powder to your liking, depending on your spice preference. Start with 1 tablespoon and add more if desired.
Serve hot with basmati rice, naan bread, and a side of raita (yogurt sauce) for a complete and satisfying meal.
If you don't have bone-in chicken breasts, you can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Adjust the cooking time accordingly.
Feel free to add other vegetables to the curry, such as bell peppers, peas, or potatoes.
