    When do I add the habanero? Also, is it ok to blend the onion and habanero? I've seen someone do this. Or would it somehow mess with the texture. thanks for this, aunty!

      Hi Mya, you can add it at the step when the ground pepper was added. And yes, you can blend the onion and habanero,it won't ruin the texture. Let me know how it turns out and send me pics too πŸ™‚
