Blend tomato, onion and optional hot pepper and set aside.
Dice chicken into 1 inch cubes.
Melt coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat and add cumin seed. Once cumin seed is sizzling, add garlic, ginger and salt. Stir and then add chicken. Sauté for a few minutes.
Add onion and tomato mixture and cook for about 10 minutes.
Place cardamom, cinnamon, cloves and peppercorn in a diffuser or mesh bag. Add to pot with 3 cups of water.
Rince rice with water 3 or 4 times.
Stir in rice and baby potatoes once water comes to a boil. Wait a minute to make sure that the water is still boiling and cover pot with lid. Simmer over low heat for 20-30 minutes. Do not stir or rice will break and become mushy.
Once all of the water is absorbed, squeeze fresh lemon juice over akni.
Serve with kachumber or yogourt.
