Instructions
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until translucent. Fold in the ginger.
- Add peppers, cauliflower, sweet potato and a dash of black pepper and cook for 3 minutes.
- Add the rest of the ingredients till peas and mix well. It will take a few minutes for the nut butter to incorporate. Partially cover and cook for 15 minutes. (You can also add a cup of cooked chickpeas or lentils at this time or fold in some kale now or spinach with the peas).
- Taste and adjust salt, sweet and heat. Add a dash of lemon and cayenne if needed. You can also fold in a bit of garam masala or curry powder.
- Add in the peas. Simmer for another few minutes if needed or until the vegetables are cooked to preference. Adjust consistency if needed with more water or non dairy milk.
- Serve over rice or grains or with toasted pita bread/flatbread. Add some more water during simmering to serve as soup. Can be served hot or cold. I usually garnish with basil or cilantro, pepper flakes and peanuts.

Notes
For quicker recipe (less chopping): blend the garli and ginger with the nut butter and ingredients after nut butter until smooth, then add to the pan and simmer until veggies are done.
