Garam Masala Chicken & Potato Stew
🍲 Garam Masala Chicken & Potato Stew
This Garam Masala Chicken and Potato Stew is hearty, aromatic and made for cooler evenings. Tender chicken thighs, chunky potatoes and carrots simmer in a thick tomato gravy flavoured with our Garam Masala blend.
It is a relaxed one-pot dinner that becomes even more flavoursome when made ahead and gently reheated.

🍳 How to Make Garam Masala Chicken & Potato Stew
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large casserole. Brown the chicken in batches for 5–6 minutes, then transfer to a plate.
- Add the remaining oil and onion. Cook gently for 8 minutes until softened.
- Add the garlic, ginger and Garam Masala. Cook for 1 minute, then stir in the tomato purée.
- Add the chopped tomatoes, stock, potatoes and carrots. Return the chicken and any resting juices to the pan.
- Bring to a gentle simmer, cover loosely and cook for 30 minutes.
- Remove the lid and simmer for another 10–15 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the gravy has thickened.
- Check the chicken is thoroughly cooked, season to taste and finish with coriander.
🍽 Serving Suggestions
Serve in deep bowls with naan or crusty bread. A spoonful of yoghurt and a squeeze of lemon provide a fresh contrast to the rich gravy.
✨ Why This Recipe Works
Chicken thighs remain tender during simmering, while the potatoes naturally thicken the gravy. Browning the chicken and gently cooking the aromatics builds layers of flavour before the stew simmers.
