Chickpea Tikka Masala
Ingredients
- 2 cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 3 carrots, diced
- 1 sweet onion, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- ½ tsp. or to taste red pepper flakes
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and diced (optional)
- 1 tsp. Garam Masala or yellow curry
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. ginger
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. cumin
- 1 tsp. Kosher salt
- 12 oz. coconut milk
- ½ cup broth (Sam’s Vegan Protein broth is amazing)
- 14 oz. diced tomatoes (fire roasted adds more flavor)
- Cilantro for garnish
- Rice, quinoa for serving
Directions
In a large skillet over medium high heat, sauté the carrots, celery, onion, and chickpeas. Once tender, add the seasonings, jalapeno, and heat through. This will release the flavors into the chickpeas. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then add the coconut milk, broth, and diced tomatoes and bring to a simmer.
Simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally and serve over rice. Garnish with cilantro, green onions, or sliced almonds.
