  25. it is reduced to about 1 cup. Remove from the heat, add the ginger,

  26. garlic, and raisins; set aside to cool. Combine the cooled coconut

  27. milk, yogurt, lemon or lime juice, coriander, cumin, turmeric, and salt and cayenne pepper to taste in a food processor or blender and blend well. Refrigerate until just before serving.

  28. Combine the chutney and mayonnaise and/or yogurt in a food processor or blender and puree until smooth. Chill. About 30 minutes before

  29. serving, dip the chicken breasts into the chutney mixture to cover

  30. well, then roll in the chopped peanuts, patting to cover the chicken

  31. completely. Place on a wire rack and chill until serving time.
