Chickpea Tikka Masala

We like to treat Monday as "Meat-less Monday".  Not only a catchy title, but a good recovery day from what usually are crazy, eat whatever weekends (also catchy and fun!)  This meal prep's quickly, can be on the table in less than 30 minutes start to finish, and is very tasty.  Enjoy!

1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1/2 medium onion, diced
2 tsp. grated fresh ginger
1 fresh serrano chile, minced
1 Tbsp. garam masala
1 Tbsp. tomato paste
1 can (28oz.) crushed tomatoes
2 cups chickpeas (cooked or canned)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
salt and pepper to taste

Heat oil over medium heat and add onions.  Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.  Add ginger, chile, garam masala, and tomato paste.  Cook 1 minute more.  Season mixture with salt and pepper, add crushed tomatoes and chickpeas.  Bring to a simmer and cook, covered 15 minutes.  Stir in cream and cilantro and serve immediately.  A good accompaniment is brown rice, Enjoy!
