| Peanut/sunflower | 4 tablespoon | |
| Fresh coconut milk- slightly thick | 1 ½ cups | |
| Salt | 1 tsp | |
| Fresh lime juice | 3 tablespoons | |

Method:
- Rinse the chicken well under cold running water and drain well.
- Make gashes on the chicken with a sharp knife.
- Marinate with ½ tsp turmeric and 1 tsp salt for 30 minutes.
- Grind/blend the shallots, garlic, ginger, fresh turmeric, mint, chilies, and lemongrass to a fine paste ( do not add water).
- Heat oil in a nonstick wok or pan.
- Add the ground paste a fry, stirring constantly till it no longer has the raw smell of garlic and ginger and is glistening.
- Add salt, coconut milk, and simmer. Taste and season appropriately with pepper and add lime juice.
- Add the chicken and coat well with the coconut sauce. Cover and allow to cook on low heat till the chicken is cooked with a nice coating of the coconut sauce. Keep spooning the sauce over the chicken pieces and do not allow the sauce to get scorched.
- It will take anywhere from 15- 30 minutes to cook well. Make sure the chicken is cooked but still firm and not falling off bones, as we still need to grill the chicken.
- Remove the pieces from the pan while still moist with sauce.
- Grill on a grill pan or outdoor grill, on medium-low, till you get nice char marks and a lovely aroma.
- Serve with Lime wedges and Salad.
