Instructions
 

  • Blend shallot, ginger and garlic, lemongrass and oil in a food processor or blender.
  • Pour mixture over chicken.
  • Add ground coriander, cumin, turmeric powder, brown sugar and salt.
  • Give the chicken a good massage to get all those spices in there. (Tip: use a clean latex-free glove so you don't get your hands yellow!)
  • Let it marinade for at least 2 hours; up to overnight, in the fridge.
  • Soak the bamboo skewers for at least 1 hour before using.
  • Put the chicken on the skewers...about 3 little pieces per skewer.
  • Grill over high heat until very slightly charred on the outside.
  • Serve with roughly chopped cucumber, red onion, and your favorite peanut sauce.
  • Enjoy!
