In a pot, heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil over medium heat and add 2 tsp curry powder, garlic, and ginger; cook for 20 seconds to burn the curry powder.

Add seasoned chicken to the pot and cook for 4 minutes, then cover and cook for another 4 minutes on low heat.

Remove the potato from the pot and add 3 cups of water; mix well and add a little salt.

Cover and cook for 10 minutes on medium to high heat.

After 10 minutes, add the potato back along with remaining scallion, thyme, onion, and carrot; mix well.
