Method

1
Take a pot that is big enough for all of the above, cover the bottom with oil, and put it on a flame.
2
When the oil gets hot, put in the onion and garlic.
3
When they start to fry, add the rest of the vegetables and salt.
4
Mix it up a bit and cover the pot.
5
Leave it to cook, mixing it every so often, until the level of the liquid is higher than the level of the vegetables.
6
Drain off most (but not all) the liquid.
7
Add the tomato paste and the spices.
8
Mix, and let it cool.
