Chop chick'n into 1in cubes. Mix all marinade ingredients together and add the cubed gardein chick'n. Marinate for about 1 hour.

Soak bamboo skewers in warm water while preparing sauce.

For sauce, melt ‘butter’ on medium heat until melted. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.

Stir in coriander, cumin, paprika, garam masala and salt. Stir in tomato sauce and simmer for 15 minutes.

Add peas and stir in coconut milk. Simmer on low heat (stirring often) while preparing the gardein chick'n.

Thread gardein chick'n onto skewers and discard marinade. Then broil, turning occasionally, to cook through for about 8-10 minutes.

Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with basmati or jasmine rice.
