  1. If using thigh cutlets, trim around the bone slightly so that the meat sits flat. Combine with the tamarind, coconut cream, palm sugar, fish sauce, dark soy sauce and salt and refrigerate to marinate for at least 2 hours but preferably overnight. Remove from the fridge 1 hour before grilling.
  2. Combine the ingredients for the dipping sauce and mix with 1-2 tbsp of cold water to form a thick saucy consistency.
  3. Heat a barbecue grill over medium heat and brush with vegetable oil. Grill the chicken thighs for about 8 minutes (boneless) or 10 minutes (cutlets with bone), turning occasionally, and rest for a few minutes before serving with the dipping sauce, lime wedges and slices of cucumber.
