Chicken in yogurt marinade

Cut the chicken into small, bite-sized pieces. Mix the yogurt with the tomato paste and the remaining spices. Add the chicken pieces, mix, and let marinate overnight. Now slowly heat the meat and the remaining marinade over medium heat until cooked through, stirring occasionally. If you like, you can add a few chopped tomatoes or bell peppers. Otherwise, season the tikka masala to taste and serve with rice or naan bread. You can vary the spices, of course, but be careful not to use too many.
