Cook onions, habanero, ginger, garlic: Add the onions and habanero to the pot and sauté, stirring from time to time, until the onions just start to brown, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle some salt over them as they cook. Add the ginger and garlic, mix well and sauté for another 1-2 minutes.
Add tomatoes, rest of curry powder, water, thyme, then simmer for 5 minutes. Let stand to cool for 15-20 minutes
Place meat in sous vide bag. Pour the curry sauce mixture into bag and shake bag to coat the meat. Place into sous vide tank.

Remove from sous vide and empty all the meat and sauce into a Dutch oven. Pick out the meat onto a tray and separate the bones and large fat out to discard.
Once all the meat is out of the sauce, use hand mixer to blend the sauce into a smoother sauce. Add potatoes and cook on medium for 15-20 minutes.
Broil the meat in the oven for 15 minutes. Once potatoes are softened in sauce, add the broiled meat back into the sauce
