Air Fryer Moroccan-Spiced Chicken Curry

A quick coconut chicken curry spiced with curry powder and ras el hanout, built in steps in a pan inside the air fryer. The chicken browns first, then simmers in a creamy coconut sauce.
The ras el hanout gives it a warm, Moroccan-leaning twist compared with a standard curry.
