Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce

This is originally from the Joy of Cooking.  I can't wit to get that recipe book.
Marinade:

           1/2 cup canned unsweetened coconut milk
           1/3 cup minced shallots
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
Pour the marinade over 2 pounds of chicken cut into medium sized strips. Put on skewers before you pour on the marinade.  Let sit for at least 1 hour.  Then grill the chicken. 

Peanut Sauce:
1 cup canned unsweetened coconut milk
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
4 teaspoons firmly packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon canned Thai Massaman curry paste
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
          1/2 cup hot water
Simmer, stirring occasionally, over low heat until the flavors are well blended, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in:
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
Serve immediately, passing the warm peanut sauce on the side for dipping.

This was awesome.  Charlotte even ate about 1/2 Tablespoons of the sauce. I can't wait to make it again.   It does, however, have sugar in the recipe.  So beware!!
