Add chopped onions, spring onions, thyme, garlic, and bell pepper to the chicken. Allow to marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Heat oil in a pan until hot.

Brown the chicken in batches to avoid steaming, ensuring it gets a nice color.

Remove some oil from the pan after browning the chicken.

Add chopped onions, carrot, garlic, and bell pepper to the pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes.

Add the browned chicken back to the pan and mix well with the sautéed vegetables.

Add water to the container that held the seasoned chicken, mix it, and pour it into the pan. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes.

Add diced potatoes (optional) and cook for another 10 minutes, adjusting seasoning as necessary.

To thicken the gravy, add grated potato and cook for an additional 10 minutes until done.
