“I’d like the chickpea masala, please.”
“Would you like rice biscuits with that?”
OK, OK, I know you’d never hear that question at an Indian restaurant, but luckily, you’ll be in the comfort of your own home when you make and eat this, so who cares if it seems like a weird combo? 
This month, we’re bringing you some of our fave recipes, and I make this recipe several times a month because it’s easy, delish, cheap, and of course, vegan. Chickpea masala is normally served up with rice, but my boo and I ? it over biscuits—or even corn tortillas! Gotta switch things up, ya know?
Deliciousness (aka Chickpea Masala & Biscuits):
What you need:
Cook the onion and garlic in olive oil in a sauce pan over medium heat until light brown. Add a bit of ginger, to taste. Next up, add the seasoning packet and stir it in well, until all the onions and garlic are coated. Add tomato sauce and cook for two more minutes, then pour chickpeas into the mixture and stir frequently for about 8 minutes. At that point, add about 1/2 cup of water, then cover and cook for 5 more minutes. Remove from heat, grab a bowl, add two biscuits in the bottom, and pour a couple of large spoonfuls of the chickpea mixture on top of them. Top with as much cilantro as you like, and eat up!
Makes approximately 3 servings.
YUM!
What do you think is the best chickpea masala companion? Biscuits, tortillas, rice, or something else?

Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Jersey girl now I'm all country.
I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.
