Once the carrot is half cooked, add in the chicken pieces and give it a mix. Saute for about a couple of minutes just to sear the meat. Do not cook for a longer time as the chicken will dry out soon.
Add tomato puree, dried seasonings like dried rosemary, thyme, cumin powder and paprika powder and mix well to combine.
