   -         Add the beef cube or all spice mix and allow for a few seconds. Add the peppers and cook for 1 minute, then the cooked matumbo which you should also mix into the mixture.

   -         Add hot water and allow to simmer (the food) for 3 minutes. 

   -         Add  finely chopped coriander and mix it in, then cook for a further 2 minutes to allow the gravy to thicken.

Serve hot with rice or ugali with a side of greens.
