Peanut-Coconut Chicken Curry (Lower Fat) image

I made this up for my daughter's homecoming from a summer trip. We loved it, and she said, "Mom, get on Zaar right now and write down what you did before you forget!" This was pretty spicy, so if you're sensitive you may want to cut the sambal to half or less. You can always add more at the table! I served this with rice noodles. It would also be good over regular pasta or rice.
