An Easy Recipe for Chickpea Tikka Masala

This recipe for chickpea tikka masala (The Simple Veganista) indulges the English need for curry (apparently the favourite meal of roast dinner has been overtaken by the Balti curry – born in Birmingham!) Made with cheap and nutritious ingredients, serve with Biona organic Basmati rice (in paper packaging).

Before cooking, read up on food safety for people and pets (leeks, onion, garlic and spices are unsafe near animal friends).

Just bin allium scraps (leeks, onion, garlic, chives, shallots), as acids could harm compost creatures (same for citrus/tomato/rhubarb).

Almost considered a ‘national dish’, this homemade version is made with tomatoes, onion, garlic and spices, along with coconut milk to make it creamy. The chicken is replaced by chickpeas, for a cholesterol-free feast you are sure to enjoy.

Chickpeas are great! Not just for hummus, throw any leftovers into salads and pasta sauces, for added nutrients. And don’t throw away the water. You can whizz it up with a little sugar to make vegan meringue. Really!
