Asian Chicken Curry in Peanut Sauce

Two of my favorite ingredients which I use for Asian-style recipes are Fish Sauce and Roasted Peanuts. Add these to any dish and you get a Thai/Malayasian flavor. Here is a yummy Asian Style Chicken Curry in Peanut Sauce. I have used a combination of ingredients from Indian, Chinese and Thai cuisines. This curry has a wonderful balance of spiciness, sweetness, saltiness and sourness. Serve this curry with Fried Rice, Pulav, Malaysian Paratha or even Kerala Porotta.
