  In this work, we explored warm inflation in the background of $f(R,T)$
gravity in the strong dissipation regime. Considering scalar field for FLRW
universe, we derived modified field equations. We then deduced slow-roll
parameters under slow-roll approximations followed by power spectrum for scalar
and tensor perturbations and their corresponding spectral indices. We have
considered Chaotic and Natural potentials and estimated scalar spectral index
and tensor-to-scalar ratio for constant as well as variable dissipation factor
$\Gamma$. We found that both the rejected potentials can be revived under the
context of $f(R,T)$ gravity with suitable choice of the model parameters.
Further, it is seen that within the warm inflationary scenario both the
potentials are consistent with Planck 2018 bounds at the Planckian and sub
Planckian energy scales.
