    The vegan »Bake Together« week continues. Andrea from Zimtkeks & Apfeltarte and I decided to publish only vegan recipes this week and with this main dish, half of the recipes are already out there. Hump day! So let’s heat up some rice and start cooking this Vegan Chickpea Tikka Masala. Delicious and super easy to prepare…

    If you have been here on this blog before, you might have noticed that every last Sunday of the month is »Bake Together – The Baking Surprise« Sunday. Andrea and I are baking something together but far away from each other, so the »together« is more virtual than in real life. When finished we publish our recipes and surprise each other with the results. Some years ago we noticed we published similar recipes at the same time here and there, so we decided we could actually do it on purpose and make a little challenge out of it… see if we get more matches. ;)

    Well… this week is a bit different. Even though we have a topic for this whole week there will probably be no matches at all. It’s all about vegan recipes this week and that means a lot can be made. We also decided on different types of dishes for each day of the week, but that’s it. So an actual match this time would come as a surprise for me. There are just too many nice vegan dishes out there you could make. ;)

    This delicious Chickpea Tikka Masala is the second dish in a row that has been cooked and not baked. Yesterday I made a nice and hot lentil soup with coconut and spinach. I hope you don’t mind getting stuff like that served instead of cake and cupcakes ;) If you guys like seeing cooking recipes as well here, I might share some more occasionally…

    Many of you might know Chicken Tikka Masala already – this here is the vegan version of that popular dish. The chickpeas replace the chicken and instead of dairy products like yogurt, some cashews ensure you get a nice and creamy sauce here. Many out there probably think Chickpea (or chicken) Tikka Masala is a dish that originates in India. Well… almost. The »base« is from India – but the actual dish with the creamy tomato sauce has been invented in the U.K. Weird? Not really. Because of the Commonwealth period, many dishes from India made their way to Great Britain and have been adapted and sometimes reinvented.

    Anyway. No matter who invented it – I really like everything that has the words »Tikka Masala« attached. The spice mix used in those dishes is really spectacular. Well… basically everything from India tastes great. Big fan here. If you can’t get hold of a pre-made garam masala spice mix you can do it yourself with different spices. Uncle »Google« will be happy to tell you the spices you need and the measurements. ;)

    Enough of this… it’s time to check out what Andrea made today. Hopefully, it is something I like so we can share. ;)

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch

    1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and set aside. Peel and chop the garlic finely. Peel the ginger and chop it finely as well. Add both together with the cooked chickpeas, oil, and lemon juice to a large bowl and mix. Add the garam masala powder and chili powder, some salt, and pepper and mix until well combined. Spread them evenly on the baking sheet and bake in the oven for about 25 minutes – stir them once or twice in between so they toast evenly.

    2. Add the rice to a sieve and rinse with cold water until the water is not cloudy anymore. Add the water to a pot and bring it to a boil. Add the rice and some salt, reduce the heat to low and cover – let the rice simmer for about 10 minutes. The water should disappear almost completely. As soon as the rice is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it sit covered for 5-6 minutes.

    3. While the chickpeas are toasting and the rice is cooking prepare the tikka masala sauce. Peel the onion and chop coarsely, peel the garlic and cut it in half. Peel the ginger and cut it into slices. Add the oil to a large pot and heat it up. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger – cook until glossy for about 2-3 minutes. Next, add the tomatoes, cashews, cumin powder, coriander powder, chili powder, and garam masala powder and cook for about 4-5 minutes over medium-high heat. Remove from the heat and blend everything with an immersion blender until smooth and creamy. Season with some salt and pepper to your liking and mix well. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for another 6-8 minutes – add some water if the sauce gets too thick. Add the toasted chickpeas and mix them in. Garnish with some chopped cilantro and serve with the cooked rice.

    1. Den Ofen auf 200°C (390°F) Ober-/Unterhitze. Ein Backblech mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen. Den Knoblauch und Ingwer schälen und fein hacken – zusammen mit den gekochten Kichererbsen, Öl und Zitronensaft in eine Schüssel geben und vermischen. Garam Masala, Chilipulver, etwas Salz und Pfeffer dazugeben und gut vermischen. Auf dem Backblech verteilen und dann für etwa 25 Minuten backen – zwischendurch immer wieder mal umdrehen, damit alles gleichmäßig anrösten kann.

    2. Den Reis in ein Sieb geben und mit kaltem Wasser abspülen, bis das Wasser klar abrinnt. Einen Topf mit dem Wasser zum Kochen bringen. Den Reis dazugeben, die Temperatur auf die niedrigste Stufe stellen und dann abgedeckt etwa 10 Minuten köcheln lassen – das Wasser sollte komplett aufgesogen worden sein. Wenn der Reis gar ist, vom Herd nehmen und noch etwa 5-6 Minuten ziehen lassen.

    3. Während die Kichererbsen rösten und der Reis kocht, die Tikka Masala Soße vorbereiten. Dafür die Zwiebel schälen und grob hacken. Knoblauch schälen und halbieren. Ingwer schälen und in Scheiben schneiden. Das Öl in einen großen Topf geben und erhitzen, dann Zwiebel, Knoblauch und Ingwer dazugeben und in etwa 2-3 Minuten glasig andünsten. Die gestückelten Tomaten, Cashewkerne, Kreuzkümmel, Korianderpulver, Chilipulver und Garam Masala Pulver dazugeben und für etwa 4-5 Minuten bei mittlerer Hitze köcheln lassen. Vom Herd ziehen und mit einem Pürierstab zu einer cremigen Soße pürieren. Mit Salz und Pfeffer würzen. Die Hitzezufuhr noch einmal reduzieren und dann die Soße für weitere 6-8 Minuten köcheln lassen – sollte die Soße zu dickflüssig sein, noch etwas Wasser dazugeben. Die gerösteten Kichererbsen dazugeben und unterrühren. Die Soße mit etwas gehacktem Koriander bestreuen und zusammen mit dem Reis servieren.
