Peel and cube the potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Set aside.
Finely chop the onion, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger.
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces.
Heat vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and sauté until they begin to sizzle.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes or until golden brown.
Stir in the garlic and ginger, and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped tomato and cook until it softens, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the turmeric powder, coriander powder, and red chili powder. Cook for another 2 minutes.
Add the chicken pieces to the pan, stirring well to coat them in the spice mixture. Cook for about 5 minutes until the chicken is lightly browned.
Add the cubed potatoes and mix well.
Pour in the water and season with salt. Stir and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the curry simmer for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
Stir in the garam masala and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
Serve hot with steamed rice or naan.
