Vegan Butter Chicken with Chickpeas and Cauliflower

This vegan butter chicken is one of my favorite comfort food recipes! It's super creamy and incredibly rich without using butter! Instead of chicken this vegan butter chicken calls for chickpeas and cauliflower.  It's sooo delicious and pretty easy to make!
