Wash chicken in lemon juice and season with garlic salt, complete seasoning, black pepper, all-purpose seasoning, chicken bouillon powder, onion powder, and green seasoning; mix well and set aside.

Preheat oil in a large pot.

Combine curry powders, mix masala, and jeera with water to form a paste.

Add the curry paste to the preheated oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes until it changes to a brown color.

Add chopped onions and garlic to the pot; mix well and cook for about 1 minute.

Add the seasoned chicken to the pot; mix well and allow to cook for about 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Add hot water to the pot, cover, and reduce heat to low; slow cook for about 30-40 minutes until the chicken is tender.

After 40 minutes, add chopped potatoes, remaining garlic and onions, hot peppers, thyme, and additional seasonings; mix well.

Add a little more hot water, cover, and increase heat to medium; cook until potatoes are tender and gravy thickens.

Once potatoes are tender, stir in chopped scallions and cilantro; serve with rice, roti, or dumplings.
