  2. Ground the peanuts with food processor/mortar and pestle. Add little dash of oil, salt, sugar/palm sugar, chili powder, fresh chili.
  3. Ground it for 1-2 minutes. It is done and you may store it in the fridge.
  4. When you want to eat it, take 2 tbsp of peanut paste and mix it well with 3-4 tbsp water and 1/4 tsp tamarind paste (optional). Mix it well. You may add water if you like the sauce thinner.
  5. Other options: in a non-stick pan, heat 1 tsp cooking oil, stir fry chopped onions, add the peanut pastes, tamarind paste, 2 tbsp water. Stir fry it in low heat until the paste a bit thicker.
  6. Prepare the boiled vegetables, eggs, fried tofu and anything that you love, crackers.
  7. Pour the peanut sauce on top of boiled vegetables. Enjoy it.
