Method:
-
Put the potatoes,
aubergine (eggplant), carrots, cauliflower and
okra in a bowl. Cover with cold water and set
aside.
-
Heat the oil in a
large pan, add the onion, garlic, ginger, chili
powder and turmeric and stir-fry until fragrant.
-
Add the salt
fish, if using stir-fry for 2 minutes, then stir
in one third of the tomatoes and the coriander.
Add the potatoes and just enough water to cover
(Add a little salt if salt fish is not used.)
Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and
simmer for 10 minutes.
-
Add the aubergine
(eggplant) and carrots, simmer for 5 minutes,
then add the cauliflower and a little more
water, if necessary. Bring back to the boil, add
the remaining tomatoes and the chili, if using.
Simmer for 5 minutes, then add the okra.
-
Lower the heat
and simmer for 5 minutes or until the vegetables
are cooked, but still firm, and most of the
liquid has been absorbed. Discard the chili, if
used. Serve hot.
