Chickpea Masala

What is it?

Organic chickpeas sit in a spiced tomato masala over rice in this frozen vegan entrée from Saffron Road. It’s built around chana masala, a North Indian dish where the chickpeas cook with the sauce instead of getting added at the end, so the seasoning runs through the whole bowl. The masala leans on tomato, onion, and warming spices, with no cream in the mix. Compared with Saffron Road’s chicken tikka masala, this one swaps the meat for chickpeas and keeps the sauce more tomato-forward. It’s part of the brand’s plant-based lineup, alongside other frozen meals and its crunchy chickpea snacks.
