Clean and cut chicken thighs and drumsticks.

Season chicken with 1.5 tablespoons curry powder, 1 tablespoon allspice, ginger, garlic, black pepper, paprika, and green seasoning.

Mix everything together and cover to marinate for 20 minutes (or overnight if possible).

Cut up potatoes and carrots.

Heat vegetable oil in a pot over medium-high heat.

Add marinated chicken to the pot and cook until golden-brown, about 10 minutes, turning occasionally.

Boil water and add enough to cover the chicken in the pot.

Add chopped bell peppers and cover the pot, cooking for 20 minutes.

Stir the chicken and add in the potatoes and carrots, tossing everything together.

Taste for seasoning and adjust salt if necessary, then cover and cook for another 20 minutes.

Check the chicken and vegetables; they should be soft and the chicken should be falling off the bone.
