Add 60 ml olive oil to a pot and heat it.

Add 2 chopped onions to the heated oil and sauté for 10 minutes.

Add 5 chopped cloves of garlic and sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Add 500 grams of boneless chicken cut into small cubes and salt to taste; fry the chicken for 10 minutes until browned.

Add 4 chopped tomatoes to the pot, along with cubed potato, kusa, carrot, and capsicum.

Add 1 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon cumin powder, 1 teaspoon coriander powder, 1 teaspoon paprika powder, and 2 teaspoons Arabic masala powder; mix well.

Cook the mixture for 10-15 minutes to ensure the spices are well roasted and the chicken is cooked through.

Add 1 cup of hot water, 4 green chilies, and 2 dried lemons; mix well.

Cover the pot and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Once cooked, ensure the water has dried out and serve garnished with lemon, green chilies, and fresh coriander, alongside Arabic bread.
