No Chicka Tikka Masala

Ok, ok, so who know if that title rhymes or not.
But this is chicken free and soooo yummy!

cilantro (fresh or dried, if using fresh add this at the end)
curry powder
garam masala
2 potatoes, chopped
naan bread

Prepare rice and set aside. In a large pot heat sauce, rotel, chickpeas, peas and seasonings. Place potatoes in a separate large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cover and simmer over medium-high heat for about 15 minutes. Drain and add to tikka sauce mixture.
