200ml coconut milk

1 cinnamon stick

2 star anise

1dsp tamarind Juice

40g palm sugar

1dsp fish sauce

50g Unsalted roasted peanuts crushed

Cooking method

To make marinade:

Mix the galangal, lemongrass, turmeric powder, curry powder, salt and sugar. Add the coconut milk, pour over the chicken and allow to marinade in the fridge for at least 1 hour.

Meanwhile, soak the skewers in water to prevent burning on the grill.

Put the chicken onto skewers by gently threading the pointed end of the skewer lengthways through each piece of chicken and keep in the fridge until ready to cook.

To make the peanut sauce:

Place a saucepan on medium heat and add oil, followed by the red curry paste and the massaman curry paste and then turn down to a low heat to cook through and to prevent the paste from burning. Stir continuously for 2 to 3 minutes until there is a good aroma.

Add the coconut milk, cinnamon stick, star anise, tamarind juice, palm sugar and fish sauce and continue to stir for a further 3 to 5 minutes.

Remove the cinnamon stick and star anise. Taste and then add the crushed peanuts. The sauce will thicken as it cools so stir in a little boiling water if needed.

Grill and serve:

Ensure the charcoal is smoking or that the grill is really hot. Grill the chicken skewers keeping the skewers just out of direct heat. Turn them when there are nice lines on each side. Ensure that they are cooked thoroughly. Serve the chicken skewers on a plate with a little peanut sauce on the side or place on a plate for everyone to help themselves and tuck in.
