For a vegetarian option, substitute the chicken with an equal amount of potatoes, broccoli florets, spinach, or paneer (Indian cheese). Adjust cooking times accordingly. A pinch of red chili powder can be added to the marinade for an extra kick of spice. Serve with basmati rice, naan bread, or roasted potatoes to soak up the flavorful sauce. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lemon juice for added freshness.
