2. Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large frying pan over
medium heat for 2 minutes.
3. Add the onion, garlic, ginger and cook for 3 minutes,
stirring regularly. Then add the spices and salt and cook
for 1 minute, stirring regularly.
4. Add the red pepper, aubergine, courgette and carrots to
the pan and cook for 3 minutes, stirring regularly.
5. Add in the chopped tomatoes and coconut milk, stirring

coriander and serve with the rice and some delicious
