Marinate the chicken for about half and hour in yogurt along with salt, cumin powder and half the garlic and ginger paste.

Heat oil, saute the onions till translucent, add the tomato puree, green chillies, coriander powder and cook till aromatic and lightly brown. Blend in the chilly powder.

Add the chicken and allow to cook on medium flam for 10 minutes. Add the nuts and about 1 cup of water (if you have stock, that works great too). Cook for another 10 minutes with occasional stirring.
