For extra heat, just before serving I added two teaspoons of crispy chilli in oil, this adds texture and fire!

METHOD
In a deep bowl, combine the yoghurt, dry spices and salt.
Add the chicken, stir well until coated.
Cover and chill for two hours, or overnight.

Now, heat the oil in a pan, when hot, add the cumin seeds.
When the seeds start to pop, a little at-a-time, add the tomato, (careful as the oil will spit).
Cook over a medium heat until soft.

Next, add the chicken, stir well then reduce the heat to a simmer.
Cover and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken is tender.
Stir in the chopped coriander and serve.
