Indian Stuffed Anaheim Chile Peppers - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    4 large anaheim chilies (any mild pepper will work)
    1 cup roasted peanuts, roughly crushed
    salt, to taste
    1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
    1 teaspoon coriander powder
    1 teaspoon mango powder (Amchur)
    red chili powder, to taste
    1 tablespoon oil
Preparation
    Make a lengthwise slit in the peppers and remove the seeds.
    In a bowl, mix together crushed peanuts, salt, turmeric powder, coriander powder, dry mango powder and red chili powder.
    Generously fill peppers with the peanut mixture.
    Lightly coat outside of peppers with a little oil (using pastry brush or hands).
    Place peppers in a microwave safe dish and microwave for 3 minutes. Check the peppers and turn if necessary. Microwave for additional 2 minutes (or more as necessary - peppers should wilt a little but still hold their shape).
    Heat little oil in a flat skillet. Place peppers on the skillet to brown them. Flip the peppers and brown other side also. Some peanuts may spill out - it's ok.
    Remove from skillet and serve hot or at room temperature.
    Tip: Buy similar size peppers so they cook evenly.
