This recipe started out as a chicken tikka masala. Now, it isn't.
Ingredients
2T olive oil
2c finely sliced celery
2 tins chickpeas
1lb tofu, cubed
~500g pureed pumpkin (a tin and a half?)
2 tins full-fat coconut milk
A two-finger sized chunk of fresh ginger
1T garam masala
2tsp cumin
2tsp coriander
2tsp paprika
2tsp asafoetida
1tsp turmeric
1/2tsp powdered hot pepper of your choice
chopped cilantro
Cooking Instructions
Mince the ginger
Put the pumpkin, coconut milk, ginger, and spices in the blender and blend until smooth.
Heat the oil and add the tofu, first. As it begins to brown, add the celery and asafoetida. Cook until tofu is lightly to moderately browned and celery is translucent.
Drain one tin of chickpeas, but not the other. Add the undrained one first to loosen anything stuck to the pan. Then add the pumpkin mixture and the other tin of chickpeas.
