🌿 Use thick Greek or hung curd yogurt to keep the marinade creamy and prevent it from being watery.
🌶️ Kashmiri red chili powder adds mild heat and vibrant color; smoked paprika can be a substitute.
⏳ Marinate chicken for at least 8 hours, especially if using chicken breasts, to maximize flavor and tenderness.
