Vegan Chickpea Masala
Peace!
Eating vegan can sometimes be hard if you don’t cook at home. Even when you cook often, like I do, it can be tough to switch things up with your recipes and try new things. I love eating Indian food, but it has been so complicated. I found this recipe it has quickly become one of my favorite vegan recipes.
Simple To Meal Prep
This recipe lasted for about a week, as I took it to work everyday. It got better with time, and all I needed was more rice. Not only is it dairy-free, It’s also a nut-free recipe, so if you are allergic to nuts, this is a healthy vegan option for you to try.
Fresh Ingredients
Full of fresh ingredients, you’ll need fresh ginger, cilantro, diced tomatoes, onion and garlic. This recipe also packs a ton of spice. Grab cheaper spices from your local Indian grocery store, if you can find one. You will need garam masala, along with tumeric and more.
