Method

Fry the onions in oil until soft and translucent.

Add the garlic, ginger and chilli and stir. Add the spices and mix through for a few minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients to the pot and just enough water to cover all the vegetables. Bring to the boil and then continue cooking on a low heat for about an hour. Add a little more water if the soup is looking too thick.
