In a pan heat the oil, add the chicken and lightly brown all over for 10 minutes. Add all the spices, tomatoes, onions and a cup of water. Mix well. Add the potatoes, bring to a boil, cover the pot, lower the heat and let it cook for 30 minutes until all the chicken pieces are cooked through.

Serve hot with fresh warm rotlis or a crusty baguette.
