  6. Add the tomatoes, chickpeas, lemon juice and ½ cup water. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer
  7. Return the jackfruit to the pan.
  8. Add the cilantro and lemon juice..
  9. Adjust the seasonings to your taste. If the tikka masala looks too thick you can add a little water. You want a thick, soupy consistency.
  10. Simmer for about 15 minutes. Serve with rice. Garnish with cilantro. Optional: Serve on a half shell avocado. It's delicious!
