How do you put as many different vegetables as possible in one pot? Curry is definitely a good option here!

Disclaimer: This is most likely not a traditional Indian curry. That's ok. I just don't know any better. So far everyone who has tried this curry, though, said that it was good. Still - I'm not claiming any sort of authenticity.
Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons of coconut oil
- 8 tablespoons of curry paste
- 1 l of veggi stock
- 1 l of tomatoes
- 1 pineapple
- 5-6 small onions
- 250g spinach (I used frozen)
- 300g peas (I used frozen)
- 5 carrots
- 1 eggplant
- 2 large bell peppers
- 1 can of coconut milk
- As much rice as you want - we ended up not making any rice in order to keep this a low carb dish.
- This is also a dish in which you can nicely add a couple of TSP (texturized soy protein) chunks. Cook a handful or two in salt water, press out the excess water and add them to the pot.
Instructions:
- Cut everything into nice little chunks.
- Thaw spinach and peas.
- Get a big pot, melt the coconut oil, add the curry paste and roast for a little bit.
- Add the onion chunks. Stirr.
- Add the carrot chunks. Stirr.
- Allow everything to roast for a few minutes.
- Add veggie stock and puréed tomatoes.
- Add pease and spinach.
- Add pineapple chunks.
- Stirr well.
- This is where I realized that the pot I was using was too small. So I mixed all of the ingredients in the pot well and transferred part of the curry into another pot.
- Add eggplant.
- Add bell peppers.
- Add coconut milk.
- Allow the whole think to simmer lightly for 2 or 3 minutes.
- Taste and check if you would like more salt or curry paste.
Done! :) We like it spicy, so we usually add some extra chili to the whole thing.
This is also a dish that works well at parties. Just put the whole pot on the stove for everyone to serve themselves. I also like to take it to work, because you can easy bring two containers (one for the curry, one for the rice, so nothing gets soggy) and have a full meal full of healthy veggies!
