Ingredients
  • 1 Small plum tomato
  • 1 Small green onion
  • 1 Medium-size Yukon gold potato
  • 2 Medium-size carrots
  • 1 Small red bell pepper
  • 1 cups (4 ounces) peas, fresh or frozen
  • 1 Small Japanese eggplant
  • 1 To 2 jalapeño or serrano peppers, or to taste
  • 1 /2 teaspoons salt
Directions
  1. 1
    Wash and dice the Yukon gold potato, carrots, red bell pepper, and Japanese eggplant into uniform 1/2-inch cubes for even cooking.
  2. 2
    Finely mince the green onion, plum tomato, and jalapeño or serrano peppers, removing seeds from the peppers if you prefer less heat.
  3. 3
    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.
  4. 4
    Add the red bell pepper, green beans, and minced aromatics (onion, tomato, jalapeño) to the skillet, stirring well to combine.
  5. 5
    Stir in the cumin, cayenne pepper, turmeric, and salt, ensuring all vegetables are evenly coated with the spices.
  6. 6
    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.
  7. 7
    Uncover and add the peas, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until heated through and bright green.
  8. 8
    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.
