• 1 large carrot
• 2 medium potatoes
• 2 onions
• 1 tsp cumin seeds
• 1 thumb-sized piece fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1/3 can tomatoes
• 100 ml plain yoghurt

1. Preheat oven to 200C/400F.

3. Chop the onions, potatoes and carrots into larger bite-size chunks.
4. Season the chicken with 1 tsp curry powder and sprinkle with salt & pepper.
5. I had the butcher cut my chicken into big pieces but it's okay if you keep it whole.
6. Heat about 1 Tbsp oil in a frying pan and brown all sides of the chicken.
7. Set aside.
8. In an oven safe pot, heat 2 Tbsp oil and 1 tsp whole cumin seeds on the stove until it starts to smell nice.
9. Add onion and saute briefly to cover in oil.
10. Stick the pot in the oven, uncovered, and bake for 40-50 minutes until browned and caramelized.
11. You should stir the onions around a couple times during the baking time.
12. (If you don't have an oven-safe pot, you can bake in some other kind of bake ware.
13. You might need to adjust the time though!)
14. Remove the onions from the oven after they're nice an brown and put back on the stove.
15. Turn on low heat and add grated garlic and ginger.
16. Saute for a minute or two.
17. Next toss in the potatoes and carrots.
18. Saute for another 2-3 minutes.
19. Add the browned chicken and all the spice mix.
20. Saute for a few minutes so the spices get mixed in well.
21. Add water, canned tomatoes, tomato paste and yogurt.
22. Bring to a simmer.
23. Turn heat to low and cover pot with lid.
24. Simmer for 40-50 minutes.
