For an extra layer of richness, consider adding a tablespoon of heavy cream towards the end of the cooking process. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to control the spice level according to your preference. Marinating the chicken in a mixture of yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, and spices for at least 30 minutes before cooking will enhance its flavor and tenderness.
