To make the sauce, place the peanuts, shallots, garlic, kecap manis, lemon juice, sambal oelek and palm sugar in a tall mixing beaker and puree to a creamy paste using a hand-held mixer.

Heat the groundnut oil in a pan and briefly fry the peanut paste, pour in the coconut milk, stir until smooth, simmer for around 3 minutes until slightly thickened and season with salt.
