Ensure onions are golden for rich flavor, but not burnt. Browning the meat seals in juices.

Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and salt. Sauté the spices for 2-3 minutes, adding a splash of water if they stick.

Add the pureed tomatoes and green chilies. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the oil separates from the masala, about 5-7 minutes. Whisk in the plain yogurt. Add 1-2 cups of water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes or until the meat is tender.
