Chickpea Tikka Masala Bowl

This luscious and creamy dish was inspired by the decadent tikka masala bowl I had in a lovely local restaurant, the Village Social Kitchen & Bar. So easy to make, this dish with its bright color and bold flavors is the perfect comfort food for any day. I know I will be making this dish often.
