Indian Spiced Chickpea Meatloaf with Butter sauce Gravy (soy-free, gluten-free option)

This Indian spiced chickpea pecan meatloaf with fragrant Indian butter chicken-inspired gravy is a hit at the holiday table! If you’re looking to shake up your vegan Thanksgiving routine, this Indian kofta meatloaf is the answer!

This flavorful spiced chickpea loaf with Indian spices and a butter sauce gravy is part of my Indianized Thanksgiving series. This month, I’m sharing a tuft of recipes for vegan Thanksgiving dishes with an Indian spin.

I decided to make an Indianized Thanksgiving spread, but instead of making the usual Indian dishes — like my tikka masala, butter tofu, or gobi musallam (whole roasted cauliflower) — and then serving with naan and rice, I wanted to alimony the trappings of the Thanksgiving meal and add Indian elements to it. So you have meatloaf and gravy, roasted veggies, cranberry sauce chutney and a side of crispy spinach pastry, but all with an Indian touch.

This whole meal is very easy to make, and you do scrutinizingly all of the cooking in the oven. You only need to simmer the butter sauce and melt some spinach on the stovetop. The whole rest of this meal is baked. That makes it much increasingly hands-free than traditional Thanksgiving meals, so you can spend increasingly time with friends and family and less time standing over the stove.

This chickpea loaf has Indian spices, and the gravy is a quick mix and swash butter chikin sauce that you’ll moreover use as the glaze for the meatloaf. The veggie side is spiced, glazed carrots, and the cranberry sauce is made into a quick dump and torch Baked cranberry chutney with garam masala and untried chili widow to it. For the Spinach pastry, we are using spinach and vegan surf cheese, but the spinach is spiced like saag or palak tofu, so it has all those flavors going and is succulent and creamy. Watch out for all these recipes coming up this week!
