Instructions
Prepare the ingredients: Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger. Cube the potatoes and slice the carrot.
Turn on the rice cooker to the 'Cook' function. Add a splash of oil to the rice cooker pot and let it heat for 2-3 minutes.
Sauté the onions in the rice cooker until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the curry powder, cumin, and paprika. Cook the spices for 1-2 minutes to enhance their flavor.
Add the chicken thighs to the rice cooker. Stir to coat them in the onion and spice mixture.
Pour in the coconut milk, chicken stock, and diced tomatoes. Stir well to combine.
Add the cubed potatoes and sliced carrot to the pot. Mix everything together and season with salt and black pepper.
Close the lid of the rice cooker and switch it to the 'Cook' function. Let it simmer for 30-35 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once cooked, taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
Serve hot with cooked jasmine rice for a complete meal.
