1⁄3 cup unsalted dry-roasted peanuts

1 teaspoon ground cumin

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon dark sesame oil

1 teaspoon ground coriander

2 cloves garlic, peeled

1 shallot, peeled and roughly chopped

1⁄3 cup light coconut milk

3 tablespoons brown sugar

1 tablespoon ginger, peeled and grated

1⁄4 teaspoon ground turmeric

1 serrano chile (stem removed), roughly chopped

6 skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 36 pieces

1⁄2 teaspoon salt

Combine the first 7 ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Add coconut milk and the next 4 ingredients (through serrano chile); process until smooth.
Spoon peanut mixture into a large resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken to the bag and seal. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour, turning after 30 minutes.
Preheat grill to medium high. Remove chicken from the bag and discard marinade. Thread chicken evenly onto 12 (6-inch) skewers; sprinkle evenly with salt. Grill for 6 minutes on each side or until the chicken is done.
