Step 1

Add cardamom, star anise, bay leaves, and cinnamon stick to a pot with oil. The surface of the pot should be fully coated. Bring the heat up to medium, add onions and curry leaves once the oil is hot enough to fry.

Step 2

Once the onions are golden, add the garlic paste and fry for about a minute. Add the ground spices and fry for a further minute. If the mixture gets dry, add more oil until all the spices are coated. We can always remove excess oil at the end

Step 3

Mix the chicken thigh pieces into the spices and cook for roughly ten minutes, stirring every 2 minutes

Step 4

Blend the canned diced tomatoes until pureed, and mix in with the chicken. Add salt according to preferences. Cover and set heat to low for about 45-60min, stirring every 5-10min. I usually prepare the potatoes during this time.

Step 5

Add peeled and cubed potatoes to cold, salted water and bring to a boil. Boil until soft. Once soft, add 1 cup of the potato water to the curry, along with the potatoes and mix.

Step 6

Cover the curry and set stove to lowest heat for at least 20 min
