Boil water in a large pot over medium heat.

Cook the mixture until it thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pot, about 10-15 minutes.

In a separate pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat.

Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in diced tomatoes, green peppers, and carrots; cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add chopped cabbage and leafy greens; cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes.

Season the vegetable mixture with salt, spices, garlic, and ginger; stir well.

Incorporate cooked chicken or fish into the vegetable mixture; heat through for 2-3 minutes.

Serve the nsima (maize porridge) alongside the vegetable and protein mixture.
