Chop remaining ¼ cup peanuts.
Stir some of the chopped peanuts into sauce and garnish with remaining chopped peanuts.
Serve with Chicken Satay.
For the Chicken Satay
In medium bowl, combine coconut milk, soy sauce, curry powder, turmeric, garlic, ginger, brown sugar and fish sauce. Transfer mixture to a large resealable plastic bag. Add chicken. Marinate in refrigerator 2 hours.
Heat grill to medium high heat. Drain chicken from the marinade; discard marinade. Thread chicken onto skewers. Brush with canola oil; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Add skewers to grill, and cook, turning occasionally, until the chicken is completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F, about 12-15 minutes. Serve with peanut sauce and suggested toppings.
