Total time: 60 min
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients: 1 cup dry fava beans (, soaked for an hour at least, then covered with water and cooked until tender (I like to pressure-cook them)); 1 tbsp vegetable oil; 4-5 cloves garlic (, minced); 1 small eggplant or half of a really large one (, cut into 3/4-inch chunks); 2 medium potatoes (, skin on, cut into 3/4-inch chunks); 1 medium green bell pepper (, cut into 3/4-inch chunks); 1 medium red bell pepper (, cut into 3/4-inch chunks); 2 cups crushed tomatoes or tomato puree; 1 tbsp; garam masala; 1/4 tsp turmeric powder ((optional)); 1/2- 1 tsp red chilli powder (, like paprika (if you're really brave, you might try adding one chipotle chili in adobo sauce instead. It gives the stew a rich, smoky flavor that I happen to love but it will get your blood boiling. Literally.)); 4 spring onions ((scallions), white and green parts chopped); 1/4 cup chopped coriander leaves
