My kitchen is in a mess today as I am preparing for a potluck gathering tomorrow at my friend's house. All of us ex-colleagues from our time working with an e-commerce company years ago met up for drinks on Wednesday evening and throw types of food which we wanted to eat during the day. Each of us then pulled out the recipe from the glass and I got Satay. Oh well... thank god I didn't get Chicken Cordon Bleu which I nominated for.. Hahaha!As I finished preparing and wrapping it all up to be refrigerated, I decided to cook a dozen for an early supper as I couldn't control myself (tak boleh tahan leh). Sadly I grinded the peanut sauce a little too fine as I prefer it to be chunkier but its already all prepared so what the heck... I'll do better the next time for sure.

Hi Daryl, nice to see you here. I like how your chicken satay turned out. I am sure they are very tasty!
By the way, your cumin seeds 'link' is showing a lemon grass picture.
Question: Do you have to grind the seasoning ingredients (i.e. the cumin seeds, coriander seeds etc) before using that to marinate the chicken pieces?
