For a richer flavor, marinate the chicken in yogurt and spices for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Adjust the amount of curry paste to control the spiciness of the dish. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a swirl of cream for an elegant presentation. Serve with a side of raita (yogurt sauce) to cool the palate.
