Veggie Tikka Masala

Hiya!

I just tried a super easy recipe and want to share it. Mostly easy because it comes from a jar but, ya know, it’s the thought that counts. I found this particular brand at Whole Foods, but I’m sure there are other good ones out there.

Ingredients: Morning Star Chik’n strips, Masala Mama Tikka Masala, Jasmine Rice, frozen broccoli or other vegetables

Put the strips and the frozen vegetables in a pan with a little olive oil. When everything is tender, add the tikka masala sauce. If it’s too thick, add a little water or milk of your choosing (I tried a little almond milk).

While it’s simmering on a low heat, boil a pot of water for the Jasmine rice. You can also use a rice cooker. I’m not the best cooker of rice, so it turned out slightly over cooked.

I got naan bread from a local grocery store. Indian food doesn’t feel right without some naan.

The whole meal took less than an hour to make, and it’s so flavorful. It’s not too spicy, but you could add some spice if that’s what you like. I had a lot leftover for lunch the next day!
