For an even richer flavor, marinate the chicken in curry powder and a tablespoon of yogurt for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to suit your spice preference. A pinch of cayenne pepper can also be added for extra heat. Feel free to add vegetables like bell peppers, peas, or spinach during the last 15 minutes of simmering for added nutrition and texture. If you don’t have light cream, you can substitute with coconut milk for a dairy-free option. Garnish with fresh cilantro or a dollop of plain yogurt before serving for added freshness.
