From what I remember I more-or-less followed the recipe from here and used TVP instead of chickpeas: https://naturallieplantbased.com/vegan-tikka-masala/
For the TVP I usually hydrate it in veggie stock, use a bit of soy sauce and vegan Worcestershire sauce and some spices including garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and maybe change it up a bit depending on the dish.
Yeah, they're in strip form like these here
