Heat the water in a pan and add the soda,

Add the groundnuts and stir thoroughly, then simmer for 10 minutes. Add the chopped tomatoes, onion,
the vegetable oil and the chopped chilli and simmer for a further 20 minutes,
stirring from time to time to avoid the vegetable from burning. Serve with nshima and any meat stew.
