Remove chicken from pan and set aside.

Add cumin, onion, garlic, turmeric, and ginger to pan; cook stirring constantly until onions are caramelized, about 6-7 minutes.

Place chicken in pan, cover, reduce heat, and simmer till chicken is tender, 25-35 minutes.

Serve with rice, hot breads such as naan or rotis, and vegetable dishes such as chole or saag, and possibly a salad.
