Add ginger-garlic-chili paste and sauté for a couple of minutes till cooked. Add the fried onion (reserving 2 tbsp for later) and tomato paste. Mix well, stir, and cook till you see the oil starting to separate at the sides.
Now add the marinated chicken and any leftover marinade juices. Toss with the masala and cook on medium-high for a few minutes to seal the meat juices.
