Ingredients

    3 green capsicums
    1 small onion
    1 tomato
    1 tsp canola oil

    (roughly chop these)

    For the sauce:

    1 cup roasted peanuts
    1/2 cup of water

    (grind the peanuts in the blender into a smooth paste, while slowly adding the water)

    1 tsp chilli powder
    2 tbsp tamarind juice
    2 tsp sugar
    2 cloves
    1 small cinnamon stick
    1 tsp mustard seeds
