Add the coriander seeds, garam masala, paprika, turmeric, and salt and toast for 10 seconds and then add the tomato paste. Stir well and then add the chicken thighs, turning them frequently as they cook. Add the tomatoes, potatoes, cilantro, and water and mix well. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover with a lid and let cook for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

    I really liked the aroma while cooking but the end product was a lacking a little flavor, but I attribute it to the excess water. I would add 1 and 1/4 cup next time...was too soupy. Fun to make tho : Also, I added a little Greek yogurt to the plate and it put a little oomph to it,

    Smelled delicious cooking, but it did not have as much flavor as I thought. My grocery did not have fenugreek seeds, so a substitution suggested to me was mustard seeds, so I used that. Maybe that was the difference. I also would cut the liquid some or maybe try using canned tomatoes for a bit more flavor. It was ok, but nothing overly impressive.

    Mine turned out to be curry soup, way too much liquid.
