Indian Butter Chickpeas and Cauliflower
with peas / naan

Active: 30 min Total: 30 min
A spice-filled and creamy tomato sauce makes this curry with chickpeas and cauliflower a great entry-level dish if you are unfamiliar with Indian cuisine. This dish tastes even better a day or two after it's made, so it's great for leftovers. This dish has remained a favorite among our members since it first made its debut in August 2013.
