The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 8 chicken thigh fillets (1.2kg), cut into 2cm pieces
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon ground chilli
  • 2 tablespoons peanut oil
  • 1 large onion (200g), grated
  • 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
  • 1 cup (250ml) coconut cream
  • ¾ cup (210g) crunchy peanut butter

Instruction

  • Combine chicken, spices and half the oil in a large bowl; season. Cover; refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Heat an oiled chargrill plate (or grill pan or barbecue).
  • Thread chicken onto 12 skewers (see tip). Cook skewers for 3 minutes each side or until chicken is cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in a small saucepan; cook onion and ginger, stirring, for 1 minute or until onion softens. Add coconut cream, peanut butter, sauces and peanuts; simmer, stirring, for 1 minute. (Sauce may separate on standing, but will come back together again when stirred before serving.)
  • Heat rice according to packet directions.
  • Serve chicken skewers with peanut sauce, rice, cucumber wedges and chilli. If you like, serve with lime cheeks and top with fresh coriander leaves.
