Add onion, garlic and ginger. Cook until onion is lightly browned, about 4 minutes, Add ground spice mixture and cook until fragrant, about I minute. Add tomato and chicken. Cook, stirring, until chicken pieces are no longer pink. Add yogurt and turn chicken pieces to coat. Add water, cayenne and salt. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook for 20 minutes.
