No Chicka Tikka Masala

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

1 C Jasmine or Basmati rice, prepared in rice cooker
1 jar of Tikka Masala sauce
1 can of Rotel- Do not Drain!
1 can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 C of frozen green peas (I didn't have any so I left these out)
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.
Heat through and serve over rice with some warmed naan bread
