Method

1
Mix the spices for the spice blend together and stir half of the mixture into the yogurt. Coat the chicken in the yogurt and let marinate at room temperature for about half an hour.
2
Slice the peeled onion. Sauté the onion in butter together with the tomato paste for about 5 minutes. Add the rest of the spice blend and continue frying for a few more minutes.
3
Pour the peeled tomatoes with their juices into the pan, crush them with a spatula, and bring to a boil. Cover with a lid and let simmer.
4
Preheat the oven broiler to 250 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and place the chicken on it. Broil on the top rack of the oven until the chicken is browned, about 10 minutes. Let cool for a moment and cut into bite-sized pieces. Add them to the sauce along with the yogurt.
5
Finally, garnish with chopped coriander and serve the curry with rice.
