1 cup of cooking oil
1 medium onion. divide into two, chop one half finely and the other half for blending.
3 cloves garlic
Small thumb of fresh ginger
Salt/ bullion powder to taste
¼ tsp curry powder Optional

Wash all ingredients and cut up for blending.
Place in the blender, blend with half cup of cooking oil till smooth ( don’t add water)
Heat up the other half cup of oil and sauté the onions till fragrant.
Pour in the puréed mix from the blender. Cook till sauce thickens and some oil floats on top. Most of the liquid would have been absorbed.
Stir the peanut butter into the pot. Allow cook for about a minute with continuous stirring to prevent burning.

Tips

If you intend to use fresh roasted groundnuts, you will have to use a food processor to get it into a paste form first. 3/4 cup roasted groundnuts is equivalent to 1/2 cup peanut butter or 8 Tbsp.
Blend your tomatoes and peppers with part of the oil to reduce the amount of liquid in the mix. this will reduce cooking time too.
