Preparation

Peanut Sauce Heat the oil in a saucepan, and sweat the curry and sugar until the sugar melts and starts to caramelize.
Add the coconut milk, and bring to a boil.
Stir in the peanuts, and season with soy sauce.
Spice Paste In a blender, puree the shallots, peanuts, coriander, and cumin into a paste, then add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.
Skewers Cut the chicken into strips 1 inch wide, 3 to 4 inches long, and at least 1/4 inch thick, and thread onto skewers.
Coat the chicken with spice paste, and season with salt and pepper.
Heat the grill to medium-high, and cook until lightly charred on one side, then turn to cook other side.
Do not overcook, or the chicken will become rubbery.
Serve with peanut sauce.
