Wash and clean the chicken.

Season the chicken with diced onion, thyme, pimento pepper, and garlic.

Add ground cumin, garlic powder, black pepper, onion powder, ground allspice, and salt to the chicken.

Mix in curry powder and combine everything well with the chicken.

Cover the chicken and let it marinate for at least one hour, preferably overnight.

In a hot pot, add vegetable oil.

Add the marinated chicken pieces to the pot, browning them on both sides until light brown.

Set aside the seasonings from the marinade to use later.

Once the chicken is browned, add 1 tablespoon of turmeric powder and 1 tablespoon of curry powder to the chicken and mix well.

Add water to the pot along with chopped tomatoes, sliced carrots, scallions, and freshly grated ginger.

Add the reserved seasonings from the marinade back into the pot and mix everything together.

Cut up potatoes and add them to the curry chicken.

Season the pot again with salt, black pepper, and any other seasonings to taste.

Cook the chicken and potatoes until soft and tender, about 35 to 45 minutes.

In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add fresh cilantro and mix it into the chicken.
