Grind the chopped coriander (keep some aside for garnishing) and all other marinade ingredients (except yoghurt) to a smooth paste in a food processor. Pour the above mix into a large bowl and add yoghurt. Mix well. Add the chicken pieces and mix well. Cover the bowl and refrigerate. Allow to marinate overnight. Thread the chicken onto skewers and keep ready. Preheat your oven or grill to medium high (200 C/ 400F/ Gas Mark 6). Place the skewers on the grill racks in your oven with a tray underneath to catch drippings. Roast open till the chicken is browned on all sides and tender. Keep aside. To make the gravy/ sauce: Heat the oil in a deep pan on a medium flame and add the onion. Cook till soft. Now add the cardamom and the garlic. Fry for 2-3 minutes. Add the garam masala, brown sugar, tomatoes, almonds and mix well. Cook till the tomatoes are soft and a thick paste forms. Add the grilled Chicken Tikkas (chunks/ pieces) and stir. Cook for 10 minutes. Add the cream and mix well. Turn off the flame. Garnish the dish with chopped coriander leaves and serve hot with Naans.

Don't let the moisture get to it, let it cool and place it in a container so that it doesn't get soggy. Then when you want to eat it, you heat it up by steaming instead of in the oven. This keeps it moist (soft and tender like you wanted); if you use the oven it becomes tough and dry.
My parents tried it. Works okay. The food's obviously NOT good as new though.

I've found that maranadeing works really well for all meats both before and after cooking. For chicken I would consider using a lemon juice concotion

After I've fried mine, I usually put them in a very low oven..about 200 degrees. I've had good luck with this method. If you wish, you could even cover them with some aluminum foil.
