How is Ground Peanut used in Thai cooking?

Ground peanuts are exactly that - roasted peanuts crushed to a coarse, crunchy rubble that's scattered over finished dishes for texture and a warm, nutty richness. They're the gritty crunch on top of Pad Thai and a key flavour in massaman curry, used across Asia as both topping and thickener. We crush them coarse, not fine, so each bite keeps a bit of snap. Toasting the nuts first deepens the flavour before they go through the pestle.
