Steps:
- Bring coconut milk, fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, salt, pepper, curry powder, and turmeric to a boil in a medium saucepan, stirring occasionally; reduce heat and simmer until sauce is bubbling and flavors have melded, 10-15 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl; let cool slightly, then stir in condensed milk. Taste sauce; it should be sweet, salty, and peppery. Season with salt and pepper if needed. Add pork and toss, massaging meat with your hands. Cover and chill 1 hour.
- Prepare grill for medium-high heat. Thread a piece of fatback onto middle of each skewer, then thread on a piece of pork so one end of pork touches fat and other is at pointy end of skewer. Grill, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and cooked through, about 4 minutes.
GRILLED-PORK SKEWERS
Steps:
- Prepare a charcoal grill or preheat the broiler. Soak 20 bamboo skewers in cold water to cover for 20 minutes.
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine the coconut milk and peanuts and process until the mixture forms a fairly smooth paste. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in the scallions, fish sauce, garlic, chili pepper, sugar and black pepper. Add the pork cubes and toss to coat. Set aside to marinate for 20 minutes.
- Drain and pat the bamboo skewers dry. Thread 3 pork cubes on each skewer and grill or broil on a broiler pan, turning as needed, until the pork is nicely browned and cooked all the way through, about 6 minutes. Serve immediately.

COCONUT CURRY CHICKEN SKEWERS
These small brochettes, about 2 ounces each, are perfect party food. Ideally they are grilled outdoors over coals, but also work fine on a stovetop cast iron grill or under the broiler. Threading each piece of meat onto two skewers, rather than one, keeps the meat from twirling and makes it easier to grill. (If using bamboo skewers, soak them in warm water for 15 minutes, so they won't catch fire.) The spicy curry sauce is used both as a marinade and a dipping sauce.

Steps:
- Cut chicken into flat 2-x-2-inch pieces. (You should have about 24 pieces.) Mix 1 tablespoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric and 1/8 teaspoon cayenne. Use mixture to season chicken lightly on both sides.
- To skewer, lay meat flat on cutting board. Thread meat onto two skewers spaced equidistant from center; do this first with one skewer, then the other. Put three pieces of chicken onto each set of skewers, for eight brochettes total.
- In a blender, put 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne, garam masala, lime zest and juice, coconut milk, ginger and grated coconut. Blend to obtain a smooth sauce. Transfer to a bowl.
- Put oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and let them pop (this only takes a few seconds). Pour oil and seeds into the coconut curry mixture and stir.
- Lay brochettes on a tray in one layer. Spoon 8 tablespoons curry mixture over chicken and spread to cover evenly on both sides. (Save remaining sauce.) Leave at room temperature for 1 hour, or refrigerate several hours, then bring to room temperature.
- Grill over medium-hot fire for about 3 minutes per side (longer if using thighs), until meat feels firm when poked with a finger. Serve with reserved sauce.
