Saute chopped onion in same pan with chicken drippings. Add curry powder, stirring quickly. Then add water, tomato paste, and salt and simmer on medium-low for approximately 10 minutes.
Return chicken to pan with the curry sauce. Stir with a large spoon until all the chicken is covered with sauce. Simmer, covered, on medium heat for 20 minutes and on low heat for 10 minutes.
Then let stand, covered, for at least 1/2 hour. Reheat if necessary. Serve warm or hot.
