Add 2 chopped tomatoes and half of the previously browned onions to the pot.

Add 2-3 tablespoons of green chili paste and mix well.

Add 1/2 cup yogurt and 2 teaspoons of salt, then mix thoroughly.

Bring the mixture to a boil on high heat, then reduce to medium-low and cook for 10-15 minutes.

Soak 2 cups of basmati rice for 3 hours, then add it to the pot after the chicken has cooked for 10 minutes.

Cook the rice until it's 50% done, then mix it with the chicken and spices.

Cover and cook on medium-low for another 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is fluffy.
