Chicken in peanut sauce

The hubby was home for the weekend after nearly a month, and the only way we know how to celebrate is by cooking something good. So I pulled out a recipe that I had liked a couple of weeks back, and adapted it slightly to suit our taste. I could have tripped on the peanut sauce- it was that good. Going to make it again soon.

1 kg curry cut chicken
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp lime juice

For the marinade:
4 tbsp roasted peanuts
1 tbsp olive oil
1 inch ginger
2 green chillies
8  pods garlic
1 tsp haldi powder
2 tbsp jaggery*
2 tbsp white vinegar
1 tsp red chilli powder
2 tbsp light soy sauce
2 tbsp coriander stalks
Salt to taste.
Method:
Blend all the ingredients listed under marinade into a fine paste. Add water if required.
Marinate the chicken pcs and keep in the fridge a few hours or overnight.
Heat a little oil in a pan and add the mixture.
Cook on medium heat stirring off and on.
Keep covered for a while.
Sprinkle lemon juice, and serve with rotis.
*- the recipe called for honey, but I substituted with jaggary.
