👨🍳 Instrucciones
- 1
In a large bowl, combine chicken pieces with minced garlic, grated ginger, turmeric, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes.
- 3
Add the marinated chicken pieces to the pot and sear them on all sides until lightly golden, about 5-7 minutes.
- 4
Pour in the water or chicken broth. If using dried fruits, add them now. Bring the liquid to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook for 1 hour, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
- 5
Uncover the pot and continue to simmer for another 10-15 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Adjust seasoning if needed.

Serve the chicken hot, garnished with fresh cilantro. It is traditionally served with couscous or rice.
