1 teaspoon red curry paste
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup coarsely chopped roasted peanuts
1 teaspoon soy sauce

Spice Paste:
4 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
3 tablespoons ground roasted peanuts
1 tablespoon coriander seeds, toasted and ground
1 teaspoon cumin seeds, toasted and ground
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 tablespoon condensed milk
1 tablespoon palm sugar (or light brown sugar)
2 tablespoons Thai fish sauce
1 tablespoon whiskey
1 pinch salt
skewers
1 1/2 lbs boneless chicken breasts
salt & freshly ground black pepper



Recipe

Peanut Sauce Heat the oil in a saucepan, and sweat the curry and sugar until the sugar melts and starts to caramelize.
Add the coconut milk, and bring to a boil.
Stir in the peanuts, and season with soy sauce.
Spice Paste In a blender, purée the shallots, peanuts, coriander, and cumin into a paste, then add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.
Skewers Cut the chicken into strips 1 inch wide, 3 to 4 inches long, and at least 1/4 inch thick, and thread onto skewers.
Coat the chicken with spice paste, and season with salt and pepper.
Heat the grill to medium-high, and cook until lightly charred on one side, then turn to cook other side.
Do not overcook, or the chicken will become rubbery.
Serve with peanut sauce
