Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
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.
Heat the cooking oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Add the chopped shallots, garlic, and bird's eye chilies to the pan. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Stir in the coriander powder and turmeric powder, cooking for 1 minute to release the spices' aroma.
Add the peanut paste to the pan, followed by the coconut milk and water. Stir continuously to combine and prevent sticking.
Mix in the tamarind paste, brown sugar, soy sauce, and salt. Stir well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Cook for 10–12 minutes, letting the sauce thicken and flavors meld together.
Taste test and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more sugar for sweetness, tamarind paste for tanginess, or chili for spice.
Once the sauce is thick and aromatic, remove it from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
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.
