Ingredients
  • 2 cups chopped mixed vegetables (carrots, bell peppers, zucchini)
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2-3 green chilies, chopped (adjust for heat)
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
  1. 1Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. 2Add the chopped onions, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onions are translucent.
  3. 3Stir in the chopped green chilies, curry powder, paprika, cumin, and coriander. Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the spices to release their fragrance.
  4. 4Add the mixed vegetables. Stir well to coat them in the spice mixture and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. 5Incorporate the diced tomatoes and vegetable broth. Mix everything together and bring to a simmer.
  6. 6Season with salt, black pepper, and brown sugar (if using). Stir well and allow to simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors meld.
  7. 7Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. If you desire more heat, you can add more chopped green chilies at this stage.
  8. 8Once the Chakaka is cooked, remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
