This vegetarian bombay house tikka masala copycat recipe is one of our favorite dinners to make and it's actually quite easy. Just a bunch of spices!

Ingredients

  • 2 Sweet Potatoes peeled and chopped
  • 1 White Sweet Potato peeled and chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • Kosher Salt
  • Pepper
  • 1 Can Chickpeas Garbanzo Beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 Cup Sweet Peas

Sauce

  • 3 Cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 Jalapeno seeded and minced
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons Butter
  • 2 Teaspoons Ground Coriander
  • 1 Teaspoon Cumin
  • 1 Teaspoon Garam Masala
  • 1 Teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1 14.5 ounce Can of Tomato Sauce
  • 1/2 Cup Canned Coconut Milk
  • 3/4 Cup Heavy Cream
  • 1/4 Cup Cilantro chopped

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Pour the olive oil over a cookie sheet and toss the sweet potatoes.
  • Top with a few pinches of kosher salt and pepper.
  • Roast for 15-25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until tender and golden.
  • The potatoes should be slightly dried as well, not soggy.
  • The last 5 minutes add the chickpeas to heat them up.
  • Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet with high sides over medium heat, melt the butter and add the garlic and jalapeno.
  • Stir for 30 seconds and then add the seasonings. I like to prep my seasonings in a bowl so I can dump them all at once.
  • Cook for an additional 30-60 seconds or until fragrant. This is blooming the seasoning and bringing out more flavor.
  • Add the tomato sauce and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until thick.
  • Add the coconut milk and heavy cream.
  • Whisk to combine and simmer for 5 minutes then add the veggies and peas and cook an additional 10 minutes.
  • Serve over white rice with cilantro.
