Satay Chicken Curry

Satay Chicken Curryr
Satay is originally an Indonesian/Malay dish. You can also make the same recipe with chunks of beef or pork, or even large prawns (if you can get the very large ones then they are usually beheaded and the skewer threaded lengthwise down the body) Satay is an exotic dish with a truckload of fragrant flavours. It only takes 25 minutes to prepare and this recipe will be enough for 4 people. (Bonus: This recipe can be frozen, prior to the coriander garnish being added. Freeze for up to two months. Defrost thoroughly in a refrigerator prior to reheating.)
