Creamy chicken potato curry is a delicious, simple dinner recipe made with coconut milk, tomatoes and the spices you already have in your kitchen.
Ingredients needed
(Quantities and method can be found in the recipe card below.)
- Onion
- Garlic + Ginger
- Boneless chicken thighs. I prefer chicken thighs because they stay juicy but any chicken can be used.
- Potatoes.Sweet potatoes, pumpkin, cauliflower and butternut squash are all good substitutions.
- Spices. I always have Garam Masala and a variety of spices in my kitchen but use any you have. Turmeric, cardamom, coriander, cumin, paprika, cinnamon, black pepper, etc. Curry powder will also work.
- Tomatoes. Fresh/Canned/Puree.
- Coconut milk.If you don’t have coconut milk, you can use heavy or whipping cream too.
Can I make this curry ahead?
Yes, like most curries this one is even better the next day. The cooked curry will last for up to 3 days covered in the fridge.
How to freeze chicken curry
Allow cooked curry to cool completely then transfer to a freezer appropriate container. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature then heat gently in a saucepan until bubbling.

Great for a quick dinner. I par boiled the potatoes and added them in after 15 mins of the simmer phas as I didn’t want the chicken to be overcooked. I also used smoke paprika as i find it adds an amazing smokey flavour. I doubled the spices too and added added keens curry powder and oomphed up on the garam masala by alot.
Salt, pepper and sugar to taste. A great base recipe for a weeknight dinner but tweeking it brings it to taste.Thanks for this. ?

Made this in a pinch last night because I happened to have all of the ingredients on hand and was searching for a comforting recipe for a frigid January night in Wisconsin. It was delightful, and I will be making this again! My potatoes needed a little more time to cook, but otherwise, absolutely perfect!
