Kuku wa karanga, mbilingani, na bell pilipili
This is a Tanzanian dish. It doesn't taste 100% authentic unfortunately, but it does taste good. The dish translates to "Chicken with peanut, eggplant, and bell pepper."
Heat 3 tbsp oil.
Add one diced onion to the oil until brown.
Toast 1 tsp black peppercorns, 2 cardamoms, 1 bayleaf, 2 allspice, 2 cloves, 1 tsp coriander seeds, and 1 tsp cumin seeds. Grind these spices.
Add half the ground spices to the onion and stir well. Leave the other half for later.
Blend one whole jalapeño, 8 cloves of garlic, 4 tsp ginger, 1 tsp fresh thyme, and 2 tomatoes. Add this to the onion.
Add the remaining ground spices, as well as 2 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp turmeric powder, 2 tsp salt, and 2 tbsp lemon juice.
Add the chicken drumsticks (6 pieces), one whole diced bell pepper, and one diced eggplant. Mix all together.
In a blender, blend one can of creamy coconut milk and 3/4 cup of peanuts. Add this to the chicken and stir well.
Cook at medium heat for 25 minutes or pressure cook on high for 12 minutes.
Note: You can do all of the above steps on saute mode of the Instant Pot and pressure cook at the end. It would be wise to add 1 cup of water to the mix if you think there is not enough liquid (e.g. coconut milk is not liquid).
