Cut the chicken breasts into half-inch broad strips; slightly flatten them. Mix all the marinade ingredients thoroughly, add flattened chicken strips to it and leave aside for an hour.

Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes, or till it is just cooked. Meanwhile prepare the sauce. Crush roasted and skinned peanuts to a coarse powder. Peel and grate onion. Peel and chop garlic. Heat oil in a pan, add garlic and onion. Cook on high heat, stirring continuously for half a minute.

Add red chilli powder, and dark soy sauce, tomato puree, honey, peanuts, salt and one cup of water. Bring it to a boil and simmer for five minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve chicken satay accompanied with peanut sauce.
