Ingredients

1½ lbs. Bone-in chicken thighs, skin removed
1 tbsp. Garam masala or curry powder
½ tsp. Smoked paprika or chili powder
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 Medium onion, chopped
3 Cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tbsp. Grated fresh ginger
1 can (14½ oz) Tomato purée
1 c. chicken broth
16 oz. Tasteful Selections® fingerling potatoes, halved lengthwise
1 can (14½ oz) Unsweetened coconut milk
Chopped fresh cilantro
Hot cooked basmati rice or warm garlic naan, if desired

Instructions

Season chicken with garam masala and paprika. Heat oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onion, garlic and ginger 2 minutes or until fragrant. Add chicken to pan; cook about 5 minutes or until browned.
Stir in tomato puree, chicken broth (or water if you prefer) and potatoes; cover pan and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, 25 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink near the bone and the potatoes are tender. Remove the chicken to a serving plate.
Stir the coconut milk until smooth; whisk into the pan. Simmer 5-10 minutes or until the sauce is thick and smooth. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and potatoes, sprinkle with cilantro, and serve over rice or with warm naan.

Recipe Tips

Feel free to sub in boneless, skinless chicken thighs if you prefer.

An Instant Pot® can make this an even quicker weeknight supper.
Brown the spiced chicken on the sauté setting, then add the onion, garlic, ginger, tomato puree and potatoes. Follow the Instant Pot® directions for the length of time needed for bone-in chicken.
Release the pressure, stir in the coconut milk. Simmer on the sauté setting for 10-15 minutes longer.

What is garam masala?
It’s a blend of toasted and ground spices that is very common in Indian cooking— the actual spices vary, featuring “warm” ones—like cinnamon, coriander, cumin, cardamom, cloves, and black pepper.
The floral fragrance of garam masala is different from commercial curry powders, which are blended from many of the same spices but in differing amounts, often including dried turmeric which imbues dishes with a brilliant yellow color.
