I used 2 chicken breasts (weight 450 grams) which was good for 3 of us and they were cooked to perfection in 10 minutes on an indoore electric grill (I got 7 skewers). The sauce though I thought lacked flavour and was a rather thin and I made with about 30ml less than the recommended coconut milk so would definately half the coconut milk to giive a thicker sauce (more to our liking) and cut back on the amount of cashews and roast them first before crushing (did that in a food prrocessor). Overall enjoyed, thank you KateL, made for Went To Market.
