Continue boiling until the vegetables are fully cooked.

Retrieve the cooked vegetables to blend them, keeping the eggplant and remaining vegetables separate if desired.

Blend the vegetables using the pulse option to avoid a slimy texture.

Optionally, add ground locust bean and some pepper sauce for additional flavor.

Finish with a squeeze of lime if desired.
