Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3/4 cup coarsely ground unsalted roasted peanuts

2 cups grated carrots

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

1 teaspoon grated gingerroot

1 teaspoon sugar

salt to taste

1 pinch asafetida (optional)

1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric

3 small green bell peppers

1 teaspoon vegetable oil

additional oil as desired -- see comment

 

1. GREEN BELL PEPPERS: Trim the stems (not too long). Slice the tops from the

bell peppers and reserve. Remove the seeds and ribs.

 

2. In a medium bowl, mix peanuts, carrots, sesame seeds, ginger, sugar, salt,

asafetida and turmeric. Set aside.

 

3. Sprinkle a little salt into peppers and turn upside down for about 30

minutes.

 

4. Add 1 teaspoon oil to the carrot mixture. Turn peppers right side up and

stuff them with the mixture and cover with tops.

 

COMMENT: original recipe suggests 4 to 5 tablespoons of oil: 1 tsp for the

stuffing and the remainder to coat pan and cook peppers. It also suggests we use

a nonstick pan and less oil.

 

5. Warm oil (see comment) in a small saucepan and arrange peppers upright. Cook,

uncovered, over moderate heat for 10 to 12 minutes. Cover, reduce heat and cook

for about 25 minutes.

NOTES : This unusual Indian stuffing for vegetables was the creation of a UNIS

grandmother. Health-conscious before her time, she was a tireless experimenter.
