- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (cut into 1.5-inch pieces)
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
