This simple but hearty pilaf combines fast-cooking bulgur and canned chickpeas, so it comes together easily and quickly. A generous measure of butter adds richness to the pilaf. For flavoring, we reached for garam masala, an Indian spice blend, as it offers the complexity of a handful of spices in a single jar. This dish makes a satisfying vegetarian main or great accompaniment for just about any roasted or grilled meat or seafood. It can be served warm or at room temperature.
