Notes
Remember this recipe uses very little oil, since peanuts and coconut from the spice mix also release some oil when added to the capsicum mixture.
Do not to overcook capsicums, otherwise they will become soggy.
Spice levels can be adjusted wit red chilies to your taste.
Do try out some variations in the spice mix and share it with me.
