  40                    wooden skewers
   1 1/2  pounds        boneless chicken breasts
   6                    shallots
   6      cloves        garlic -- peeled
     1/4  cup           coconut milk
   2      tablespoons   lemon juice
   1      tablespoon    brown sugar
   1      teaspoon      coriander leaves
     1/2  teaspoon      salt
     1/4  teaspoon      whole cumin seeds
     1/4  teaspoon      turmeric

Preparation:

Soak skewers in cold water for 1 to 2 hours before grilling. Cut meat into 3/4 inch pieces. Place in a medium sized bowl. If using variety of meat, place each in a separate bowl. In a food processor or blender whirl together shallots, garlic, coconut milk, lemon juice, sugar, coriander, salt, cumin and turmeric to form a smooth paste. Combine with meat and marinate, covered in the fridge for 1 to 2 hours. Thread onto skewers without crowding, about 4 pieces per skewer. Grill or broil until crisp and browned, but still juicy, about 3 to 6 minutes, turning to cook evenly. Serve with satay kuah sauce.
