Once the onions are soft, add the chopped garlic and ginger and fry for 30 seconds or until fragrant.

Add the tomato paste, paprika, ground cumin, turmeric, black pepper, cayenne pepper and fry for 30 seconds.

Now add the fresh tomato puree and mix well.

Add the chopped carrots, red bell pepper, yellow potatoes, salt, vegetable broth and mix well. Turn up the heat. Cover and bring to a vigorous boil.

Once it starts to boil, give it a mix and cover the lid. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for about 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, uncover and add the zucchini, green beans, cooked chickpeas, parsley and mix well.

Now turn up the heat and bring it to a rapid simmer. Once it starts to simmer, cover the lid and cook on medium heat for about 10 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked to your liking.

Uncover and turn the heat to medium high and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes or to the desired consistency.
