Stuffed Peppers (Lombok Isi)

1 tsp ground cloves

1 tsp ground nutmeg

3/4 cup fresh dried bread crumbs

2 eggs, slightly beaten, to bind the meat

salt to taste

1 tsp kare Jawa (Java curry powder, mild Indian curry powder can be used)

Peanut oil for deep frying (peanut oil is traditionally used in Indonesia but canola oil is a good substitute. If canola oil is used

you will miss the authentic Indonesian flavor though).

Mix all the ingredients together in a large mixing bowl and stuff the peppers.
