Equipment
- Saucepan with lid
Ingredients
- ½ recipe tikka masala sauce
- 28 oz cooked chickpeas (start with 1 cup dried if cooking chickpeas from scratch)
- Salt to taste
- 2 tablespoon cilantro or scallions (chopped)
Optional vegetables
- 1 medium onion (cut in ½ inch dice and petals separated)
- 1 medium zucchini or yellow squash (cut in ½-inch pieces)
- 1 green bell pepper (cut in a ½ inch dice)
Instructions
- Place the chickpeas in a saucepan with the tikka masala sauce. Add a cup of water and mix. Bring the chickpea tikka masala to a boil, then lower heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. You can turn off the heat and serve the chickpea tikka masala at this point. If adding veggies, proceed to the next step.
- Add the vegetables to the pan. Mix well.
- Let the chickpea tikka masala come to a boil over medium heat. It might look a bit dry at this time but wait because the veggies will express some liquid. Cover the pan and let the veggies cook 5 minutes over low heat.
- Check the tikka masala and add more water if needed. Add more salt as needed. Garnish with cilantro or scallions and serve hot.
