Steps

1

Place the pork in a mixing bowl. Add turmeric, curry powder, salt, sugar, and coconut milk. Mix well to combine. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight if possible for more tender and flavorful pork.
2

Thread the marinated pork onto skewers. Grill over charcoal or use a grill pan. We use a grill pan: heat it over low heat and grill the pork until fully cooked. While grilling, brush both sides of the pork with the marinade to keep it juicy and prevent it from drying out.
3

For the satay sauce, heat a pan over medium heat. Add vegetable oil and both curry pastes. Sauté until fragrant. Add coconut milk and stir to combine, then add water.
4

Once the coconut milk comes to a boil, season with salt, granulated sugar, coconut or palm sugar, and tamarind paste. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
5

Simmer until the sauce thickens and everything is well combined. Add the crushed roasted peanuts and continue to simmer until the sauce is slightly thickened. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
6

To make the ajad, combine all ingredients (sugar, salt, vinegar) in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook until the syrup thickens. Remove from heat and let cool. Slice the vegetables and place them in a bowl, then pour the cooled syrup over them.
7

Cut toasted bread into bite-sized pieces.
8

All done! Serve and enjoy. This makes a great finger food for parties.
