This creamy, vibrantly-colored, and mildly-spiced Indian-style curry will warm you from the inside out. It’s packed with tender potatoes, juicy diced chicken thighs, bold spices like ginger and garam masala, plus little pops of flavor from tender sweet peas. It’s ladled alongside fluffy white rice, then sprinkled with cilantro and a bright squeeze of lime to finish.

Cooking Steps
• In a small pot, combine rice, ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. • Cook, covered, until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• While rice cooks, wash and dry produce. • Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Peel and grate ginger.
• Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over high heat. Add chicken, potatoes, ginger, turmeric, garam masala, salt, and pepper. • Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is browned, 2-3 minutes. (It’ll finish cooking in the next step.)
• To pan with chicken mixture, add stock concentrate, 1¼ cups water, and ¼ tsp sugar (2 cups water and ½ tsp sugar for 4 servings). Stir to combine. • Cover and reduce heat to medium high. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and chicken is cooked through, 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Meanwhile, quarter lime. Roughly chop cilantro. • Once curry is done, stir in peas, sour cream, yogurt, and juice from two lime wedges (four wedges for 4 servings) until combined and peas are warmed through. • Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
• Divide curry and rice between shallow bowls in separate sections. • Garnish with cilantro and serve with a squeeze of lime.
Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Some found it mild and bland; others enjoyed the curry taste. Consider adding extra spices or hot sauce for more kick 🌶️.
- Ease of prep: Quick and simple to make, though some noted it took longer than the recipe stated to reduce the sauce.
- Suggestions: Try using coconut milk instead of yogurt and sour cream. Add more garam masala or curry powder for deeper flavor.
- Portions: Many felt there were too many potatoes relative to chicken. Some wanted more rice to balance the curry.
- Texture: Several found the sauce too thin and watery. Simmer longer or use less water for a thicker consistency.
Reviews from our home cooks
I LOVE me some curry! There could have been a bit more spice though, so I did add a touch of my own curry seasoning, but overall the flavor was perfect. My husband said it looked "weird" and then asked me why I served him an empty plate because he ate it all in about 5 minutes. We both loved this. And I love learning new recipes for curry!!
This took way longer than 20 minutes to cook. The instructions should say to cook the potatoes for much longer, and add the chicken later. Potatoes were still hard but chicken was becoming dried out. The Indian flavor profile was great, but potatoes should've been boiled separately and it shouldn't be listed as a fast-to-make recipe.
I think it needs more sauce. I was sort of expecting it to be more saucy like a restaurant curry. It was more like a curry flavored potato dish. The flavor was really good. But I was hoping more for a saucy aloo muttar. Which would have been awesome, also it would have been nice to have garlic naan available as an add on with it.
I've never really had curry before so wanted to give this a try - it was so flavorful! Great recipe!
This was yummy but would have been nice to have a bit more rice to balance how much curry it made. Also some chutney would have been a great touch to add.
First time for curry and it was good. I don't know if that's how curry dishes are made but I would be ok to omit the potatoes it was too much starch for me.
I think I would like it more if the curry was coconut-milk based instead of sour cream & yogurt... but it's still a good curry and a good meal overall. Again a generous portion of chicken & potatoes and it's nice to get peas instead of green beans or carrots or broccoli - maybe even more peas to balance out the potatoes? But it was good.
This is a good healthy dish and I liked the chicken thighs, however for some reason even with the included seasonings, it didn't have enough flavor. I ended up adding some paprika for an extra kick. Overall it's a good meal and I like the mix of everything.
Recipe related. The diced potato could use a bit longer to cook, seasoning would benefit from some more... anything. Decent meal made quickly, but could've been better.
The curry sauce was very runny. I had to thicken it with corn starch which worked out great
