Basting Sauce:

1. 4 Tbsp of peanut Sauce


2. 3 Tbsp of Soya Sauce


3. 2 Tbsp oil
   

How to make Peanut Sauce:

Grind onion, chillies and garlic together. Heat oil in a pan. Saute the paste of some time. Add the peanut butter, salt and sugar and stir well. Pour enough water cook until you get smooth sauce. Add lemon juice and switch off fire.

How to make Satay:

Pierce the chicken pieces on the bamboo skewers (4-5 pieces per stick). Pan grill the chicken turning occasionally. When almost done brush with the basting sauce and allow to cook completely. Serve hot with peanut sauce.

Cooks note: Fried rice according to me is bit dry, so you may serve yoghurt or some gravy to go with it. Actual Thai style is only with peanut sauce, Indians may not prefer that.
