Tikka Masala

Ingredients:

• 1 cup diced onion
• 5 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
• 1 in piece of ginger, finely chopped
• 1-2 tsp finely chopped red chili/hot pepper
• 1 tsp ground turmeric
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• ½ tsp ground cumin
• 2 tsp garam masala
• 1 14-oz can or 1 ½ cups diced tomatoes
• 1 cup Healing Broth
• 1 14-oz can or 1 ½ cups chickpeas OR 1 ½ vegetables of choice, such as cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, and/or bell pepper
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 ¼ cup coconut milk, divided
• 3-4 fresh or dried curry leaves (optional)
• Sea salt, to taste (optional)
• ½ cup roughly chopped cilantro leaves, to serve
• 4-6 cups cauliflower rice, brown rice, quinoa or millet, to serve

Directions:

Place a large non-stick ceramic pot on medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, until soft and browned, adding a bit of water if needed to prevent sticking. Add the garlic, ginger, and chili and continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant. Add the spices and cook for a further 30 seconds while stirring constantly.

Add the diced tomatoes, healing broth, chickpeas, tomato paste, 3/4 cup of the coconut milk, and curry leaves (if using) to the pot. Simmer for 15 to 25 minutes, until the sauce is thick and the chickpeas soft.

Turn the heat off and add the remaining ½ cup of coconut milk to the pot. Season with sea salt to taste (if using).

Serve immediately with cauliflower rice, brown rice, quinoa, or millet and top with fresh cilantro.
