Grind the peanuts in a food processor, in a blender, or in a mortar and pestle. Put in a frying pan, add the sesame seeds, and lightly toast for a few minutes over a hot burner, tending it constantly so it doesn't burn. You just want to develop and release flavour. Remove from heat, set aside.
Peel the onion, chop very coarsely or just into quarters. Put in food processor.
Peel the garlic cloves. Add to food processor.
Wash the dried chile peppers, remove stems, add to food processor.
Peel the ginger root, chop very coarsely, add to food processor.
Blend the contents of the food processor to a paste, set aside.
You can make ahead a day before up to here. Just store the two items covered, separately, in fridge.
Wash cucumbers, trim a thin piece off both ends. Do not peel. Quarter lengthwise, and using a spoon clean away and discard the seeds. Cut into batons about 4 cm (1 ½ inches) long. Put in a very large bowl.
Wash the carrot, peel it. Slice lengthwise into long sticks, and cut into batons about the same size as the cucumber. Add to the cucumber bowl.
Wash the cauliflower, chop it into pieces 3 to 6 cm (1 to 2 inches.) Add to the cucumber bowl.
In a very large saucepan, at least 8 to 10 litre in capacity (8 to 10 US quarts) if not larger, put everything from the vinegar down to and including the turmeric. Whisk well.
Stir the onion purée in to the vinegar mixture, and bring the pot to a full boil. Lower heat to a gentle boil and let boil uncovered for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Add the peanut mixture. Stir well.
Add all the prepped veg. Raise heat back up and stirring frequently, bring the liquid back to a full boil. Then reduce heat to a gentler boil, and let cook for about 5 minutes, uncovered.
Using a slotted spoon, fill your prepared jars with vegetable solids to within ½ inch (2 cm) of the top.
Then, with a ladle divvy out the liquid into the jars, to cover the veg and still leave 2 cm (½ inch) headspace from the top of the jar.
If you are short of pickling solution, just quickly zap some more vinegar in microwave, minding the surge effect when removing from microwave.
Debubble, adjust headspace.
Wipe jar rims.
Put lids on.
Process in a water bath or steam canner.
Process either size jar for 15 minutes. Increase time as needed for your altitude.
