I had a hard time deciding on the name of this dish,but for the love i have for chillie i guess i took it after my Dad he loves chilly so much.i had to name it this way.
This dish is super easy,anyone can try and being a student and having less utensils you use only one sufuria...hehehe...
This recipe gives you the freedom to play around with ingredients and spices...most people are used to potatoes and peas but due to high cost of potatoes right now... We've got to look for alternatives....

Steps

1

Prepare your matoke,carrots and potatoes,clean them and set aside
2

Blunch the peas in salty water and set aside.... You can add a pinch of baking powder to retain the green colour.
3

Boil your matoke which you have cut into halves in salty water for 5 minutes... Don't over cook them
4

Set them aside
5

In a clean sufuria, fry your onions, garlic and ginger paste till golden brown. But for my case i used garlic powder. Add in your tomatoes and capsicum...cook untill it forms a paste then add in your chopped chillies
6

Add in your carrots and potatoes and cook them in low heat for 2 minutes... Add in the mixed spices, cayenne and any other spice of your choice.
7

Let them cook for a minute then add water and let them cook down untill the stock reduces...add in the peas and matoke.add water to cover a little and let it simmer for 6-7 minutes or when the potatoes are soft... When you pork with a fork it slides in easily
8

Garnish with dania and serve hot with guacamole.
