Balti Chicken with tomatoes

I had thought of abandoning this recipe, till I started getting threats (not really) to post it. Although, most people guessed the balti-chicken part, no one could guess the main ingredient, tomatoes. "I" part in the hint was aimed at 'seventeen tomatoes', my online-identity in some respects. This recipe uses quite a few tomatoes and they just add something to the chicken with their unique taste. So, without wasting much time, here goes the yummy recipe...
