Prepare all ingredients: base in one bowl and vegetables in another
Heat 2 tbspn of olive oil on medium heat
Add all base ingredients (onion, spices, tomato paste, garlic, hot pepper, ginger)
Sweat ingredients for 5 minutes, DON'T Brown
Add vegetables (eggplant, sweet potato, green beans) and cover pan, cook 10 mins stirring occasionally, if it starts to brown add more oil
