Marinate the chicken pieces with this paste and keep aside for an hour.
Cut onions into very thin slices & fry in hot oil. Drain them & keep aside.
Fry the chicken pieces in the same oil until almost done. Keep the pan covered so that the chicken does not get browned, but is cooked inside. Drain them and keep aside.
Heat 2 tbsp of oil in another pan (You can use the same oil in which we fried the chicken pieces. This will enhance the flavour). Add mustard seeds, slit green chillies and curry leaves. Saute for 1 minute.
Add the tomato paste to this and saute for 1 minute.
