Prepare your ingredients: Chop the onion, mince the garlic, peel and slice the carrots, cube the potatoes, and dice the bell pepper.
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.
Layer the chicken thighs at the bottom of the crock pot. Sprinkle half of the spice blend over the chicken.
Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, potatoes, and bell pepper on top of the chicken.
Pour the canned diced tomatoes (including liquid) and chicken broth over the vegetables. Stir gently to distribute the liquids evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining spice blend over the top. Cover the crock pot with the lid.
Set the crock pot to cook on LOW for 6 hours or HIGH for 4 hours, depending on your preferred schedule.
After the cooking time is complete and the chicken is tender, stir in the coconut milk. Taste and adjust salt or seasoning if needed.
Let the stew cook for an additional 10-15 minutes on LOW to warm the coconut milk and meld the flavors.
Serve the stew hot in bowls, garnished with freshly chopped cilantro.
