I like Malaysian chicken satay and I like Indian curry. So why not mix the two of my favourite dishes together into a rich chicken satay curry dish? Don’t let the list of ingredients scare you because this dish is very quick to make in under 40 minutes.
Warning: This is a dish for your cheat day. But trust me, it is well worth it. 🙂
Marinade Ingredients
- 1 tbsp mild curry powder (Madras)
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- 1 tsp ground fennel seeds
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp chilli pepper flakes
- 3 tbsp smooth peanut butter
- 1/2 lime juice (1 tbsp equivalent)
- Zest of 1/2 lime

Curry Ingredients
- 1 tsp finely grated ginger
- 2 finely grated garlic cloves

- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup unsalted chicken broth
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Mix the marinade ingredients until smooth.
- In a Ziplock bag, marinade the chicken breast cubes with 1/3 of the satay marinade. Chill overnight to infuse the flavour.
- Saute shallots, garlic, ginger, celery, and remaining marinade in 1 tablespoon of oil over medium high heat to release fragrance and flavours.
