I've just recently become enamored with Thai food. Does anyone have a recipe for peanut sauce? I recently had a meal (can't remember what it was called, it was one of the "pad ___") that was so delicious I could hardly contain myself. It was pieces of chicken breast in a peanut sauce over rice and various vegetables. I must know how to make that sauce.

Chicken Biryani
http://holiday.allrecipes.com/az/ChickenBiryani.asp My wife and I made this a while ago. It was really good, but the time to prepare it was fairly extensive. Also it requires lots of varied ingredients, many of which we had to purchase specifically for this, but wow. The flavors were incredible. |

I LOVE Indian food. There is a local restaurant called Monsoon, within walking distance of Petco Park (home of the Padres), which charges around $18 per dinner entree, but has a lunch buffet for $11.95, complete with Muligitawny. The place is pure heaven.
