Saute onion in half of the butter until transparent. Add yoghurt, tomato paste, spices, and salt.
Saute meat in another pan in remaining butter until golden. Stir in the spice mixture, add some of the garlic-ginger infusion, and simmer, covered, until meat is tender. Add more garlic-ginger water from time to time as necessary. (The sauce for korma should be very very thick.) Correct seasonings and serve with cooked rice.
