Heat the oil in a deep pan or skillet over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onions and sauté them until they turn golden brown. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
Stir in the garlic paste and ginger paste and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften and the oil begins to separate from the mixture, about 5-7 minutes.
Lower the heat and add the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and salt. Mix well for 1-2 minutes.
Incorporate the chicken pieces into the pan, stirring well to coat them in the spice mixture.
Cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes, allowing it to lightly sear on the outside.
Whisk the plain yogurt to ensure it is smooth, then gradually add it to the pan while stirring to prevent curdling.
Add 1 cup of water, stir, and bring the curry to a boil.
Lower the heat to a simmer, cover the pan, and let the chicken cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the chicken is tender and cooked through, stir in the garam masala and cook for another 2 minutes.
Turn off the heat and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve hot with steamed rice, naan, or flatbread for a satisfying meal.
