Fry the onions in the oil, add the chicken, and stir. Add spices, salt and the split chili peppers. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, adding water as required. In a separate pan, beat the yogurt and a little water with a whisk. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove the yogurt from the heat and set aside. When the chicken is cooked, add the yogurt and continue to simmer on low heat. Serve in a deep dish along with white rice. Serves 4-6 persons.
