Heat oil in a large pot and fry the chicken pieces all over until the pores are sealed and the chicken pieces are golden brown. Remove the meat, add the onions, garlic, chili, and spices to the pot, and simmer over low heat for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the tomatoes, water, mint, and chickpeas. Return the meat to the pot and season with salt. Cover the pot and simmer for about 20 minutes, until the chicken is tender and cooked through. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then sprinkle with chopped coriander and, if desired, drizzle with yogurt.
