Recipe
1. Soak 16 (8-inch) wooden skewers in cold water 20 minutes. Slice each chicken breast lengthwise into 4 strips; thread onto skewers. Place in shallow glass or ceramic baking dish.
2. Place cashews, coriander seeds and cumin seeds in small skillet. Cook over medium heat 3 to 4 minutes or until light brown and fragrant, stirring frequently. Cool. Place in food processor; pulse until coarsely ground. (A mortar and pestle also can be used.) Place in medium bowl; stir in all remaining chicken ingredients. Spoon mixture over both sides of chicken skewers; cover and refrigerate 30 to 60 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, place all dip ingredients except cilantro in food processor or blender; process until smooth. Stir in cilantro.
4. Heat grill. Remove skewers from marinade; discard marinade. Place skewers on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill 4 to 6 inches from medium coals; cover grill. Grill 3 to 5 minutes or until no longer pink, turning once. Serve skewers with mango dip.
TIPS *Tamarind paste can be found in the Asian or Middle Eastern section of grocery stores or in specialty markets. Its sour taste is used as flavoring.
**Look for fish sauce in the Asian section of supermarkets.
