This is what it looks like. I always have a tin on hand, although I often make my own, this is a great one. http://www.ayam.com/cooking-quality.htmlI get mine from Moore Wilson but I am sure it is available elsewhere.

This is my favourite too. Only two of us and we get through most of a tin as they aren't big. Can buy them from countdown but they are often in the asian or indian section not around other sauces

Malaysian Satay Peanut Sauce
1 1/2 cup dry roasted peanuts (unsalted) 1 cup water 1 tablespoon sweet soy sauce (Kecap Manis) 1 1/2 tablespoon sugar (palm sugar preferred) 1/8 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup oil 1 heaped tab tamarind pulp (soaked in 1/4 cup water for 15 minutes, squeeze the tamarind pulp for juice and discard the pulp) Spice Paste: 6-8 dried red chilies (seeded and soaked in warm water) 3 cloves garlic 3 shallots 2 lemon grass (white parts only) 2 cm ginger or galangal 1 tablespoon coriander powder (optional)
Crush the peanuts coarsely with mortar and pestle or mini food processor and set aside. Chop the spice paste ingredients and blend until fine. Heat oil and fry the spice paste until aromatic and smell spicy. Add the peanuts, tamarind juice, water, sugar, sweet soy sauce and stir thoroughly. Simmer in low heat while continue stirring for about 3 minutes until the peanut sauce turns smooth. Serve at room temperature with the satay.

I have bought the watties bit on the side one, but not for a long time now. It also kept well, Any of the authentic indian ones would be good though.

Satay isn't actually an Indian dish, it's SE Asian - Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia.

Brahims brand is quite decent. You can get it in Asian supermarkets around $4 mark.

Easy Satay sauce - 2T (heaped) crunchy peanut butter, 2T extra hot sweet chilly sauce and 1/4 cup of water. Just heat, stir and eat. Tastes better than you would expect, and can be done in the microwave.

We love "Bit on the Side" Java Satay, we love it as a sauce on chicken burgers but I also have it as a quick easy meal.It costs the same as the can of creamy Satay by Watties. but for us a can is too much sauce in a meal so we use about half a bottle to about 500gms diced boneless chicken breast. a meal in as long as the rice takes to cook. Also for a more authentic taste, select do a Singaporean Satay. also very nice. We make a large salad in a bowl. put shredded chicken on top (crispy noodles if we are being less heathy) and a dollop of satay sauce. stir it all through instead of dressing. delicious
