Ingredients
- 250 grams Peanuts (unsalted, roasted)
- 400 milliliters Coconut milk
- 150 milliliters Water
- 3 pieces Shallots (finely chopped)
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
- 3 pieces Bird's eye chili (adjust based on spice preference)
- 2 tablespoons Tamarind paste
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 piece Lime (for garnish, optional)
Directions
Step 1
Place the roasted peanuts in a food processor or blender and grind them into a coarse or smooth peanut paste, depending on your preference, then set aside.
Step 2
Heat the cooking oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the chopped shallots, garlic, and bird's eye chilies to the pan. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Step 4
Stir in the coriander powder and turmeric powder, cooking for 1 minute to release the spices' aroma.
Step 5
Add the peanut paste to the pan, followed by the coconut milk and water. Stir continuously to combine and prevent sticking.
Step 6
Mix in the tamarind paste, brown sugar, soy sauce, and salt. Stir well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Step 7
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Cook for 10–12 minutes, letting the sauce thicken and flavors meld together.
Step 8
Taste test and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more sugar for sweetness, tamarind paste for tanginess, or chili for spice.
Step 9
Once the sauce is thick and aromatic, remove it from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
Step 10
Serve warm as a dipping sauce for satay or drizzle over grilled meats, rice cakes, or vegetables. Garnish with a squeeze of lime, if desired.
