Melt butter in a hot skillet.

Add finely chopped onions and garlic to the skillet.

Add finely chopped flavoring pepper, okra, and diced carrots to the skillet.

Sauté the mixture until the vegetables are translucent and slippery, adding a bit of salt to help them break down.

Pour in fresh coconut juice and allow it to thicken.

In a separate bowl, mix cornflour with water to create a runny paste.

Once the pot is bubbling, pour the runny cornmeal mixture into the pot while mixing.

Stir continuously, ensuring to not leave the pot unattended.

Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning with more salt and black pepper if desired.

Add SES (Green Onions) to the mixture.

Look for a breathing-like motion or bubbling in the pot as an indicator that it is nearing completion.

Transfer the mixture to a glass dish, optionally greasing it first.

Smooth the top with a metal spoon and add a bit of water on top for a smooth finish.

Allow the dish to cool for about half an hour or longer depending on the size.

Slice into the cooled dish and serve with stew fish.
