Table of Content

The capsicums and paneer contribute a refreshing medley of colours and thereby a visual appeal to this healthy and tasty satay.

This is a slightly-heavy snack that goes well with a hot and sweet dip. The dip is quite spicy, but if you want it spicier you can add more red chilli flakes!

Peanuts are a forbidden food for diabetics due to their high calorie content; therefore I have used it very sparsely. Lemon grass and coconut milk are typical Thai flavour enhancers.

But coconut milk is also very high in calories, so I have added very little of it just to bring out the Thai flavour. Since this snack is a wee bit high in calories, have it only once in a while.

You can also try other Thai diabetic friendly recipes like Thai Stir Fried Noodles with Tofu or Thai Green Kodri .

Disclaimer:
  1. It is highly recommended that this recipe be relished by diabetics only occasionally and in small quantities. This is just a mere ‘treat’ and does not qualify for a regular diabetic menu.
For the hot and sweet dip
  1. Combine the vinegar, sugar substitute, cornflour and 1 cup of water together in a small non-stick pan, mix well and cook on a medium flame till the mixture becomes translucent, while stirring continuously.
  2. Remove from the flame and keep aside to cool.
  3. When cool, add the red chilli flakes and salt and mix well.
  4. Allow to stand for a while before using.
For the peanut sauce
  1. Heat the oil in a non-stick pan, add the onions and garlic and sauté on a medium flame till they turn translucent.
  2. Add the peanut powder, sugar substitute, coconut milk, lemon grass, chilli powder, lemon rind and salt, mix well and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring once in between.
  3. Remove from the flame, discard the lemon grass and add the lemon juice and mix well. Keep aside to cool.
How to proceed
  1. Combine the paneer, red capsicum, yellow capsicum, mushrooms and onions together in a bowl, add the peanut sauce, toss gently and keep aside for 15 to 20 minutes.
  2. On a skewer, arrange one piece each of paneer, red capsicum, yellow capsicum, mushroom and onion.
  3. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 5 more satays.
  4. Heat a non-stick pan and cook the satays on a medium flame using oil till all sides are golden brown in colour.
