Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce

Definitely an all time favourite - because its so easy to make and everyone loves it.

Everything that goes into it is normally available at home

Ingredients

• 200 gms chicken cut into strips
• Marinade
• Peanut Sauce
• Skewers - 12

Marinade

• 1/2 cup coconut milk
• 2 tsp brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp red chilli
• salt to taste
• 1/2 tsp light soy sauce
• 2 tsp ginger garlic paste
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp cornflour
• 1/2 tsp cumin powder
• 1/2 tsp coriander powder

Mix all the ingredients for the marinade.  Add in the chicken and keep in a flat dish.  Keep this for at least 2 - 3 hours.  I kept it overnight.  Ensure the dish is covered and kept

Soak the skewers in water, so that when this is made it does not burn.

Thread the chicken on the soaked skewer, put a little oil on a tawa and put skewers on.  Press down flat.  Once the underside is done - slightly browned as the sugar & soya will help it get a nice caramel colour, turn to the other side.  Brown this side also.

Serve with Peanut Sauce

• 1/4 cup crushed peanuts
• 1/2 small onion chopped
• 1 cup coconut milk
• salt to taste
• 1/2 tsp corriander powder
• 1/2 tsp cumin powder
• 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp oil
• 1 tsp garlic paste
• 1 1/2 tsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp light soy sauce

Heat the oil in a heavy bottom frying pan, saute the garlic and onions together.  

Mix in the balance ingredients except the lemon juice and cook on low heat for a couple of mins till blended well. 

Add the lemon juice once removed from heat.  

Temper with a little oil and red chillies
