Jamie's Comfort Food
By Jamie Oliver
About the recipe
A fast, old-school street food, this dish can be found all over Malaysia and Indonesia. Its origins seem to point back to Java in Indonesia, where the concept of kebabs was brought by Muslim traders from India and Arab countries. Peanuts were introduced by Spanish and Portuguese explorers and they thrived in the tropical climate, which is why you see them used in so many garnishes and sauces there today.
Recipe From
1 level teaspoon medium curry powder
½ level teaspoon ground cumin
1 heaped teaspoon turmeric
3–4 fresh chillies
2 cloves of garlic
5cm piece of ginger

6 tablespoons crunchy peanut butter
2 tablespoons low-salt soy sauce
6 spring onions
4 limes
