Healthy Cooking Methods & Styles Quick & Easy Healthy Recipes Healthy, Quick & Easy Dinner Recipes Quick & Easy Vegetable Main Dish Recipes Cauliflower Tikka Masala with Chickpeas 4.3 (3) 3 Reviews In this vegetarian riff on a popular Indian dish, we swap in cauliflower and chickpeas for the chicken in tikka masala. The cauliflower's nooks and crannies are particularly good at soaking up all the intense flavors of the sauce. Serve over rice for an easy healthy dinner that's ready in just 20 minutes.

Add cauliflower and salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add water; cover and cook until the cauliflower is tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add chickpeas and sauce; cook, stirring occasionally, until hot, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter. Serve topped with cilantro, if desired. Tips Tip: Keep Indian simmer sauces--such as tikka masala and Madras curry--in your pantry for a meal that's ready faster than you can order takeout. You can turn just about any vegetable or protein into a saucy dish like this one, or brush the sauce on chicken or steak before it hits the grill.
