African Chicken Curry

Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet or pot over medium heat and add a little oil. Add the chicken cubes and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Sauté the Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until the onion becomes soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the Spices: Add the cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper to the skillet. Stir well to coat the onions and garlic with the spices, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Simmer the Curry: Add the diced tomatoes (with juices) and coconut milk to the skillet, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Return the Chicken: Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet and stir to combine. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
Season: Season the curry with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve: Serve the curry over cooked rice and garnish with fresh cilantro.
