Satay Peanut Sauce from Thailand

Satay peanut sauce is a South East Asian classic and goes well with noodles, vegetables as well as meat.  It's also a great dipping sauce and its versatility makes it very popular.  Serve it warm or at room temperature.  You can make this in advance as it will keep well in the fridge for about 2 weeks.

1 cup peanuts
1/3 cup water
2 cloves garlic finely chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 tablespoons peanut butter
1/3 cup coconut milk
Put all ingredients in a blender and blend together until you have a sauce.That's all.  How easy was that?
