Pour the yogurt, lemon juice, salt, garlic and grated ginger and half of the spices (preferably except turmeric) into a bowl and mix together. Put the chicken pieces in the ingredients, cover them and put them in the fridge for 2 hours to rest and taste.
Pour a little butter into a deep pan. Finely chop the onion and fry it with garlic until golden. Then fry the seasoned chicken with the onion for about 5 minutes until it changes color.
Add the tomato paste, ginger, masala spice, red pepper powder and turmeric to the chicken and cook for about 1 minute.
