Method

  1. Heat the grill to high. Put the peanut butter, curry paste and yogurt in a mixing bowl, then mix together until combined.
  2. Add the chicken, tossing to coat, then thread onto 8 kebab skewers (see tip) and put on a baking tray. Grill for 20 minutes, turning regularly, until the chicken is lightly charred and cooked through (cut into the largest piece to check it’s cooked).
  3. Meanwhile, to make the slaw, put the vegetables in a mixing bowl and toss with the sesame oil and lime juice. Season well with salt and pepper, then stir in the coriander. Serve 2 satay sticks per person on a bed of slaw with extra coriander and lime wedges to squeeze over.

  1. If using wooden skewers, soak in a bowl of cold water for 5 minutes to prevent them from burning.

  1. Made this at the weekend and was awesome. The sauce was slightly thick though so I slackened it off with some groundnut oil. I also added some peppers to the skewers and gave the whole thing a light spray of oil before sticking them under the grill. Will definitely make these again
