Directions
Blend 1 cup onions with ginger, garlic, and ½ cup water in a blender.
Heat oil in a 12 to 14-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Pat chicken dry and season with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper.
Brown, skin side down, about 6 minutes (don’t turn over), then transfer to a plate. Add remaining onions to skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to plate with chicken.
Reduce heat to medium and add onion-ginger paste to skillet.
Cook, stirring, 1 minute.
Add curry powder and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in tomato paste, remaining 2 cups water, sugar, and ½ teaspoon salt and bring to a simmer.
Return chicken and onions to skillet with sliced lime and simmer, partially covered, turning chicken once, until just cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes.
