Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, and cayenne pepper. Cook for another minute, stirring constantly, until aromatic.

  3. 3

    Add the chicken pieces to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes. Add the cubed potatoes. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and chicken is cooked through.

  5. 5

    Stir in the coconut milk and heavy cream. Simmer gently for 5 minutes, uncovered, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the fresh cilantro.

  6. 6

    Serve hot with basmati rice or naan bread, garnished with additional fresh cilantro if desired.
