Method
Marinate the chicken in the yoghurt, half the garlic-ginger paste and the spices for at least 30 minutes.
Grill or sear the chicken over high heat in a very hot pan until browned outside and almost cooked through (5–6 minutes), then set aside.
In the same pan, fry the chopped onion in the oil until soft and golden, add the remaining garlic and ginger for 1 minute, then the puréed tomatoes and spices, and cook for 10 minutes until thickened.
Add the cream and stir well, then return the chicken to the pan and simmer over low heat for 8 minutes so the pieces soak up the sauce.
Sprinkle with chopped fresh coriander and serve hot with rice or naan bread.
