Tikka Masala Simmer Sauce + Chickpeas

become

ONE POT CHICKPEA CHANNA MASALA

Shameless shortcuts for a flavorful and nutrient-packed vegetarian curry.

Using jarred Tikka Masala simmer sauce and canned chickpeas (aka garbanzo beans) helps save a lot of prep time. This meal also works well with other jarred simmer sauces like Madras Curry.
