Ok here are the results!
So first, just using a dry rub with the chicken worked out really well. I would still do the traditional recipe if I am grilling the chicken but, if working it in a pan, I would definitely repeat the dry rub approach. It did deepen the flavour of the spices so the overall dish ended up hotter (spicier) than before but we loved it
For those who mentioned watery yogurt, how dare you?!?! hahaha just kidding. That was not a problem, my yogurt is thick and creamy but the marinade has other liquid ingredients that dilute it; more over, yogurt won't stay creamy and thick when heated anyway so it worked well as a deglazing liquid
Here are some pics of the process:
Searing the chicken, kept the searing light
Seared chicken, as you can see, light sear
Cross cut of chicken, still raw inside as planned
After chicken, onions
Then garlic and ginger
Finally the yogurt (with lemon juice, tomato paste, etc)
And once reduced, adding the butter and heavy cream
And that's the sauce, once homogeneous, I returned the chicken and simmered it until cooked which took about 6 mins extra
PS: thanks so much to all for your feedback. I have posted similar questions in the past (in Reddit way back when) and other communities but this is the first community that engaged.
Looking forward to sharing more questions and pics with you all
