Preparation

Start the makhani
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Drain and rinse the chickpeas. In a large, high-sided pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add ⅔ of the garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the chickpeas, tomato sauce, ½ cup water (double for 4 portions), the spices and S&P; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring often, 10 to 12 min., until the flavours have combined.

Mise en place
Meanwhile, halve the cucumbers lengthwise; thinly slice crosswise on an angle. Medium-dice the tomatoes. Juice the lime. In a small bowl, microwave 1 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions) and the remaining garlic, in 15 sec. increments, until melted.

Make the salad
In a large bowl, combine 1 tbsp lime juice, 2 tbsp oil (double both for 4 portions) and S&P. Add the tomatoes and cucumbers.

Toast the naan
Arrange the naan on a lined sheet pan. Brush with the garlic butter. Toast in the oven, 2 to 4 min., until warmed through.

Finish the makhani
To the pan of makhani, add the cream and 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions). Roughly mash ½ the chickpeas. Cook, stirring often, gradually adding more water if needed, 1 to 2 min., until you achieve your desired consistency; season with S&P.

Plate your dish
Divide the makhani between your bowls. Serve the naan (cut into wedges) and salad on the side. Bon appétit!
