Chana Tikka Masala. Gobhi Chana Tikka Masala is a lovely vegetarian alternative to a non-vegetarian Indian favorite. You can make it with many different vegetables but this combination of chickpeas and cauliflower tastes really good! The tikka sauce is easy to cook beforehand and freeze.

Add boiled chick peas & mix well.

Add garam masala, fresh coriander, green chilli.
