I think the writer left out turmeric (aka kunyit), non of the ingredientsa listed give that yellowish tint to the sauce?
I think the yellowish colour is from roasting the peanuts? (So I read last night). Going to try this tonight.
Do not add peanuts at step 3,they will turn too soft.Add just before eating.
