Pour in the diced tomatoes (undrained), coconut milk, chicken broth, and add the cubed potatoes. Stir well to combine.

While the curry is simmering, prepare the steamed rice. Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice and 4 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and cook for 18-20 minutes, or until all water is absorbed and rice is tender. Let stand, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
