Directions
-
Wash and dice the Yukon gold potato, carrots, red bell pepper, and Japanese eggplant into uniform 1/2-inch cubes for even cooking.
-
Finely mince the green onion, plum tomato, and jalapeño or serrano peppers, removing seeds from the peppers if you prefer less heat.
-
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil, then sauté the diced potatoes, carrots, and eggplant for about 8-10 minutes until they begin to soften and brown.
-
Add the red bell pepper, green beans, and minced aromatics (onion, tomato, jalapeño) to the skillet, stirring well to combine.
-
Stir in the cumin, cayenne pepper, turmeric, and salt, ensuring all vegetables are evenly coated with the spices.
-
Pour in 1/2 cup of water, cover the skillet, and reduce heat to medium-low, letting the vegetables steam for 5-7 minutes until tender.
-
Uncover and add the peas, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until heated through and bright green.
-
If the mixture looks dry, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of water to create a light sauce, then toss in the shredded unsweetened coconut just before serving for added texture and flavor.
