Chana Masala and Cashew Pulao

What is it?

Chickpeas in spiced tomato sauce sit next to brown basmati rice with cashews in this frozen vegetarian meal from H-E-B. The chana masala brings whole chickpeas, tomato, onion, and a mix of warm spices, while the pulao leans on long-grain brown basmati for a chewier, nuttier base. Compared with other H-E-B Indian frozen meals, this one uses rice pilaf instead of naan or plain grains, so the texture is a little more varied. It’s a two-part plate that heats up in the microwave and keeps the components distinct, with the sauce staying with the chickpeas instead of soaking everything.
