SIMPLE CHICKPEA TIKKA MASALA
This dish might be simple, but it’s not plain! It’s a simple Chickpea Tikka Masala which is full of flavour and makes a great mid-week meal.
I love these Indian inspired dishes and I’ve previously made a Sweet Potato and Chickpea Tikka Masala recipe which has become one of the most popular recipes on the blog. In this recipe, I’ve made a smooth sauce by blending the ingredients and only added chickpeas. You can use sweet potatoes in this recipe too. I just wanted to keep it simple here and skip baking the sweet potatoes.
This dish takes about 30 minutes to make and tastes excellent on the next day too so it makes a great packed lunch for work.
I hope this dish finds it’s place in your mid-week favourites too! xx
