When I first made this recipe, it was with chicken. However, I thought about how I could make it a little bit healthier for the future. I had some cans of chickpeas or garbanzo beans (depending on where you live), so I decided to look up this chickpea tikka masala recipe. Let me just say, served over a bed of rice, it was definitely a comforting dish. So, here’s the recipe:

Rob’s Opinion
I have decided to start posting the different dishes and recipes that I cook each week for two reasons. Firstly, I have been told that I am a good cook, and secondly, I am tired of searching for recipes online, only to have to navigate through excessive content and pop-up ads to get to the ingredients and cooking steps.
All the recipes that I post on this blog are ones that I have personally cooked. I will make sure to share my personal touch and techniques that I use to enhance the flavor and make each dish unique. If you liked this dish, be sure to come back next week for more. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment below, and I will do my best to answer them.
