Add the potatoes and fry for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Then add the chicken and garam masala and mix everything well. Add the broth, bring to a boil, then lower the heat. Cover and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes. If the mixture looks dry, add water, no more than 1/4 cup at a time.
