Cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds, until the spices start to sizzle. Add the chopped onions and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes, until the onions just start to brown around the edges. Add the chicken pieces and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink and has started to brown a bit. Add garlic and ginger and stir-fry for two minutes more. Add Jalapeños and yogurt/water/salt mixture. Lower heat and simmer, stirring, for a minute or so. Cover skillet and cook at a gentle simmer for 8 minutes. Remove cover and add the remaining 1/2 cup of yogurt, heating and stirring gently for about a minute. Serve korma with steamed white rice. Garnish with cilantro, parsley or toasted slivered almonds.
