Wash and cut the chicken, then set aside.

Add 1 tablespoon of Maggi all-purpose seasoning and 1 tablespoon of Maggi chicken seasoning to the chicken.

Mix in chopped onion, thyme, garlic, grated ginger, and carrots.

Rub 1 tablespoon of curry powder onto the chicken and burn 1 tablespoon of curry powder in vegetable oil over low-medium heat.

Mix the seasoned chicken into the burnt curry powder, allowing it to spring its own water before adding any water.

Add a small amount of water to the pot to wash out the seasoning container and pour it into the pot.

Cover the pot and cook the chicken for 15 to 20 minutes, checking for doneness.

After 20 minutes, taste the chicken and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Add the remaining veggies, including potatoes and carrots, and cook for an additional 7 minutes before turning off the heat.
