Start by cooking the tomatoes in a pan with a little bit of water and salt until they are tender and mushy.

Once the tomatoes are soft, add in the groundnut paste and mix well with the tomatoes, mashing them together.

Gradually add in water to the mixture until the groundnut paste is fully dissolved and there are no lumps.

Allow the mixture to boil, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking or burning.

Once the mixture thickens and is no longer bubbling, add in the remaining vegetables (mushrooms, cauliflower, and green capsicum).

Cook on low heat for about 10 minutes until the vegetables are tender but not overcooked.

Use a silicone spatula to scrape the sides of the pot and ensure nothing is burning at the bottom.

Once the groundnut sauce starts producing its own oil, it is ready to serve.
