Chickpea Tikka Masala
Description
A super easy, tasty (vegan) crowd-pleaser, with only seven ingredients!
I enjoy this dish served along with rotis and fried bananas; but you could also serve it with rice, bread, sambals or any other side of your choice. For the rotis - I bought ready-made rotis from the store and lightly fried them on each side in a non-stick pan. For the fried bananas - I fried them in butter (can substitute for coconut oil as a vegan alternative) on medium-high heat for approximately 5 minutes a side.
