For a richer flavor, marinate the chicken in a mixture of yogurt, ginger, garlic, and spices for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preferred level of spiciness. Serve hot with basmati rice or naan bread for a complete and satisfying meal. If fresh spinach is not available, frozen spinach can be used. Make sure to thaw and squeeze out any excess water before adding it to the recipe. Garam masala is a blend of ground spices common in Indian cuisine. It can be found in most grocery stores, but feel free to make your own blend at home.
