For an even richer flavor, try browning the chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preference for spice. A pinch of saffron threads can also be added for a touch of luxury. Serve over couscous, quinoa, or rice to soak up the delicious sauce. A dollop of plain yogurt or a sprinkle of toasted almonds makes a lovely garnish. If you don't have fresh ginger, 1 teaspoon of ground ginger can be substituted. For a vegetarian option, omit the chicken and add more vegetables, such as bell peppers, eggplant, or sweet potatoes.
