A Taste of Thailand in Every Bite

What makes this recipe stand out is the vibrant Thai influence.

Made from peanut butter and coconut milk, with a hint of red curry paste and ginger for a touch of heat and zing, it’s a creamy, slightly sweet, and tangy accompaniment that complements the grilled chicken beautifully. The sauce’s consistency can be easily adjusted by adding a bit of water, allowing you to create the perfect dip for your skewers.
