You could try doing a search on the top one of these sites putting the ingredients in and seeing what else you might need to make a curry. I think its the curry secret one that has a search engine. take care to do the search in site and not the google one

There is no definitive chicken curry recipe. You've got all the ingredients you need. Personally I wouldn't put tomato anything in it. But free style it to your own taste. Bingo, chicken curry.
Slice your onions thinly and saute in oil until they are slightly soft but not brown. Add in the chicken and stir until brown. (I would bone them first and cut them into small pieces.) Add in curry powder. Start with about a tablespoon, then taste, and add more if necessary. You will probably want to add a little of the cumin and coriander. If "red chili powder" means hot red pepper, then you might want to add some of that as well, depending on how hot you like your curry to be. However, if it is a spice blend -- the kind you would add to make Tex-Mex chili -- leave it out. The flavors are not right for curry, and you would be better off using plain black pepper for extra heat.
After the chicken is mostly cooked, add in the tomato sauce. Garlic is not a major ingredient in most curries, so I would not add any extra garlic, especially since the tomato sauce already has some. Turn heat to low, and simmer until the chicken is completely cooked. Taste again partway through, and add more spice as necessary. If you happen to have plain (unflavored) yogurt in the house, stir some of that into to the tomato-chicken mix. It's great. The combination of tomato and yogurt is often found in recipes from Jaipur.
Meanwhile prepare the basmati rice, and add a teaspoon or so of butter to the water, if you have butter available. Serve the curry over the rice. And invite me to dinner!! :-)
I hope this helps!!
