- 500 g potatoes
- 1 large onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp oil
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp ground turmeric
- 2 tsp garam masala
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp paprika powder
- 500 ml chicken broth
- 100 ml white wine
- 200 ml milk
- 1 tbsp flour
- 1 small handful fresh coriander
- Salt

Steps
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes.
- Dice the onion and finely chop the garlic.
- Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
- Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika powder.
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add cumin, turmeric, garam masala, ground coriander, and paprika powder. Stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add onion, garlic, and potatoes. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often.
- Pour in the white wine and let it bubble for 1 minute.
- Add the chicken broth and bring everything to a gentle simmer.
- In a separate pan, heat 1 tbsp oil and briefly brown the chicken pieces.
- Add the browned chicken to the pot.
- Simmer for 20-25 minutes, until the potatoes are soft and the chicken is cooked through.
- Mix the milk and flour in a small bowl until smooth.
- Stir the milk-flour mixture into the curry.
- Simmer for another 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Chop the fresh coriander and stir it in at the end.
- Taste and adjust with salt, pepper, or more garam masala.
Beginner Notes
- Cut the potatoes small so they cook in time.
- Do not burn the spices. They only need about 30 seconds in the oil.
- Browning the chicken separately gives better flavor, but do not cook it too long before adding it to the pot.
- Mix flour with cold milk before adding it, otherwise it can form lumps.
- The curry should be creamy, not stiff. Add a splash of broth or milk if it gets too thick.
