👨🍳 निर्देश
- 1
In a bowl, combine ground beef, half of the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, ground pumpkin seeds, beaten egg, salt, and pepper. Mix well and form into small meatballs.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Ensure the pumpkin seeds are finely ground for a smoother texture. - 2
Heat palm oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the remaining chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- 3
Add the chopped tomatoes and tomato paste to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring until the tomatoes start to break down.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the peanut butter and warm water until smooth. Add this mixture to the pot along with the chili pepper (if using).
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Warming the water can help the peanut butter dissolve more easily. - 5
Bring the sauce to a simmer, then carefully add the meatballs to the pot. Ensure they are submerged in the sauce.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Add more water if the sauce becomes too thick. - 6
Cover the pot, reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 50-60 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Stir gently occasionally to prevent sticking. - 7
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot with rice or fufu.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: The sauce should be rich and flavorful.
