Sauté the onion, cinnamon, and cardamom in oil in a large pan. Add the tomatoes and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the chicken pieces and simmer for another 5 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, and chili to the chicken. Season with cumin, masala, turmeric, and coriander powder. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through. Then add the curry powder and mix well.
