• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Prepare your ingredients: Chop the onion, mince the garlic, peel and slice the carrots, cube the potatoes, and dice the bell pepper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix the spices well to make your fusion spice blend.

Step 3

Layer the chicken thighs at the bottom of the crock pot. Sprinkle half of the spice blend over the chicken.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, potatoes, and bell pepper on top of the chicken.

Step 5

Pour the canned diced tomatoes (including liquid) and chicken broth over the vegetables. Stir gently to distribute the liquids evenly.

Step 6

Sprinkle the remaining spice blend over the top. Cover the crock pot with the lid.

Step 7

Set the crock pot to cook on LOW for 6 hours or HIGH for 4 hours, depending on your preferred schedule.

Step 8

After the cooking time is complete and the chicken is tender, stir in the coconut milk. Taste and adjust salt or seasoning if needed.

Step 9

Let the stew cook for an additional 10-15 minutes on LOW to warm the coconut milk and meld the flavors.

Step 10

Serve the stew hot in bowls, garnished with freshly chopped cilantro.
