Preparation
Cut chicken into 1-1/2-inch/4 cm chunks; set aside.
In wok or large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; stir-fry onions until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add cinnamon, hot peppers, garlic, minced coriander, curry paste, ginger, pepper, cayenne and nutmeg; sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add chicken; sauté until chicken is seared and well coated with spices, 4 to 5 minutes.
Add tomatoes, zucchini, yogurt and salt; stir-fry until juices start running from tomatoes, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 2 tbsp/30 mL water and cover; simmer, stirring often, until chicken is no longer pink inside, about 8 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and garam masala; cook for 1 minute. Transfer to serving plate; sprinkle with hot pepper (if using) and coriander leaves.
