Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, combine the diced chicken with yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, garam masala, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

    Easy to prepare, great flavors. I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts, and it worked perfectly. I'll make this again for sure.

    This recipe was great for a weeknight meal. The chicken was tender, and the spice level was perfect for my taste. I might add a little more garam masala next time for extra depth.
