To make the curry powder, roast each condiment
separately over a moderate heat, shaking the pan frequently,
until each becomes a dark golden brown color, taking care not
to burn. Roast the rice until light golden brown and put all
ingredients into a mortar and pestle or grinder and grind to
a fine powder. Store in an air-tight jar.
Heat the oil and sauté onion and tomatoes. Add salt, chili powder
and the un-roasted curry powder. Leave the mixture to cool slightly
and spoon it into the bell pepper shells. Drizzle with coconut
milk and put under a hot grill for 5 - 6 minutes or until the
coconut milk has infused into the mixture, but before the bell
pepper loses of its crunchiness. |

| Chef’s tip: |
| This can be put into the microwave oven for 2 - 3 minutes on high, instead of the grill. |
