  • If you prefer a thicker, richer gravy, add a handful of cashews or poppy seeds soaked and ground into a paste along with the yogurt—this adds both body and a subtle creaminess.
  • To infuse extra tang and tenderness into the chicken, marinate it for at least 30 minutes with yogurt, turmeric, and a squeeze of lemon juice before cooking.
  • Leftover pepper chicken gravy can be transformed into a delicious filling for wraps or stuffed parathas—simply shred the chicken and reduce the gravy until thick.
