Chicken, potato and carrot curry from South Africa

In a large pot, fry the onions until almost translucent or clear. Then add all the spices and fry for another 1 to 2 minutes. Next, add the tomatoes and mix with the spices and onions. Cook until a paste-like consistency forms. Add the chicken, potatoes, carrots, and water to the pot. Stir in the tomato paste and simmer on low heat. Cover and cook for about 30 minutes, until the chicken is tender, stirring occasionally. Remove the bay leaves and cinnamon stick. Hollow out a small loaf of bread and serve the cooked curry in the bread. Serve with rice, if desired. Traditionally, it is eaten with the hands, using the bread to absorb the sauce.
