  • ¼ cup (60ml) peanut oil
  • 2 long red chillies, chopped 
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 cups (280g) roasted unsalted peanuts
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • ¼ cup (60ml) kecap manis (sweet soy sauce)
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • ½ cup (125ml) coconut milk 
  • ½ cup (125ml) boiling water
  1. To make the satay sauce, place the oil, chilli, garlic, peanuts, cumin, turmeric, kecap manis, fish sauce, coconut milk and water in a food processor and process until well combined. Set aside half the mixture.
