Step 1
Cut chicken into 1.5-inch chunks. Slice half the onions into thin rings; dice the remaining half.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring often, until golden and soft, ~12 minutes.
Step 3
Transfer caramelized onions to a plate. Add chicken to the same skillet and sear until golden on all sides, ~8 minutes.
Step 4
Add ginger-garlic paste and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, ~90 seconds.
Step 5
Stir in cumin, coriander, and tomato puree. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring to coat the chicken.
Step 6
Return caramelized onions to the skillet. Add diced raw onions and stir well to combine.
Step 7
Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until chicken is very tender, ~12 minutes.
Step 8
Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot with rice or naan.
