A must have dip for Chicken Satay, I had to make this. Especially for Ajoy as he is such a fan of this sauce that he sometimes asks for it in Chinese restaurant too :) forgetting that he is in Chinese restaurant instead of Thai :)

Ingredients

1 Cup Peanuts

2 Spoon Brown Sugar

1/4 Spoon Red Chilli Powder

2 Spoon Soya Sauce

1 Spoon Oil

1 Garlic Clove

2 Spoon Lemon Juice

Salt to taste

Method

Dry roast the peanuts and let them cool
Add peanuts, brown sugar, red chilli powder, soya sauce, oil, garlic clove, lemon juice and salt in a mixie and grind to sticky powder
Add half cup of water and grind again till smooth paste

Notes

I had used double quantity of red chilli powder but it had become little extra hot so I have suggested only 1/4 spoon for red chilli. If you feel it is too mild for you try adding some more chilli while grinding

Notes

I read in lot many recipes to add fish sauce to the marination, but I investigated a bit and found that it is some what salty liquid and usually used instead of salt. Hence instead of going to asian shop for fish sauce I used normal table salt instead.
