Next, add in potatoes and chicken pieces. Stir well, then cover and let it simmer over low heat for about 20 to 25 minutes or until potatoes are tender and chicken pieces are cooked. Add a little water if the sauce is too dry. Season with salt to taste and discard cinnamon stick. Turn off the heat and transfer stew into serving bowls. Serve with coriander leaves and rice.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a low-medium heat. Drop in the curry leaves, onion, garlic, ginger, cinnamon stick, chilli and thyme and cook for 5 mins until the onion has softened, stirring regularly to prevent sticking to the pan.
• Mix the curry powder with a splash of water in a bowl to make a runny paste. Add the paste to the pan and give it a good stir until aromatic, around 30 seconds. Keeping the heat on a low-medium simmer so that the spices don't burn, add the chicken pieces and stir to coat in the curry.
• Add the chopped tomatoes, potatoes and 1 tsp salt. Pour in water to just below the level of the chicken and potatoes. Cook for around 25 mins until the potatoes and chicken are cooked through, then discard the cinnamon stick.
