    | 1. Put ginger, garlic and peppers into a food processor and process til smooth. | 2. Add macadamia nuts and continue to process. | 3. Add oil, lime juice yogurt, basil, cilantro and spices and process again until smooth. | 4. Put the chicken in a medium bowl, and add the mixture, stirring to coat all pieces. | 5. Cover and refrigerate chicken for 12 hours. | 6. This step is not necessarily required (I have made it after marinating for only 1/2 hour, but the flavor is much better if you do let it marinate). | 7. Heat a bit of oil (2 tbls) in a wok, or deep dish fry pan. | 8. Add chicken and its marinade to pan and cook thoroughly, stirring frequently, until marinade sticks to chicken. | 9. This will take about 20 minutes to 1/2 hour. | 10. The mixture will look soupy at first, and then begin to thicken up as the sauce reduces. | 11. I like a little heat, so I also add a little chili oil to the dish. | 12. Serve with steamed jasmine or basmati rice. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
