    Add the chopped onion and cook until soft and golden, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir in the garlic, curry powder, turmeric, and paprika; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add the chicken pieces, salt, and black pepper. Sauté until the chicken is lightly browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Stir in the tomato paste and diced tomatoes. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes start to break down.

    Pour in the chicken broth, bring to a simmer, and cover. Reduce heat and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  7. 7

    Uncover and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer uncovered for another 5 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened and the chicken is cooked through.

  8. 8

    Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot over cooked white rice, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
