Instructions

  1. In a medium pot, cook your rice or risotto as instructed. Risotto takes about 3 cups liquid per 1 cup dried, rice is just a 2-1 ratio.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine your tomato soup, chickpeas, seasonings, and onion over medium heat.
  3. After 20 minutes on medium, drop the heat to a simmer and stir in your coconut milk or any non-dairy milk. Let simmer for another 10 minutes or until thick.
  4. Serve hot over rice or risotto and enjoy!

Notes

  • Start with cooked chickpeas. ​If you are using dried chickpeas, they must be cooked ahead of time. There is not enough liquid in the recipe for the chickpeas to cook directly in the pan. 
  • Marinade the chickpeas in advance, if desired. Authentic tandoori recipes typically call for marinating the protein in yogurt and spices before cooking in the tandoor. If you'd like to marinate the chickpeas in the spice and tomato soup mixture for up to 24 hours before starting this recipe, feel free!
  • Adjust the spices to taste. Everyone's spice preference will be different. Adjust the tandoori spice and salt to taste.
