Marinate chicken with yogurt, ginger, garlic, lemon juice, and spices for at least 30 minutes.

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.

Add sliced onions and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in marinated chicken and cook until browned, about 8-10 minutes.

Add chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften, about 5 minutes.

Stir in additional spices and cook for 2-3 minutes to release flavors.

Add a splash of water if the mixture is too dry, and cover the pot.

Reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Check chicken for doneness; it should be tender and cooked through.

Adjust seasoning with salt and additional spices if needed.

Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.

Serve hot with naan or rice.
