2 cloves garlic, crushed
½ teaspoon each curry powder, ground turmeric and coriander

½ teaspoon sea salt
To serve
¾ cup roasted, salted peanuts, finely chopped

METHOD
Marinade: Place all the ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Pour over the chicken and turn to coat well. Cover and marinate in the fridge for up to 4 hours. Take out half an hour before cooking.
