Prep the omena by rinsing it thoroughly under cold water to remove bitterness.

Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.

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

Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add diced tomatoes and chopped green bell pepper, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.

Incorporate the rinsed omena, stirring to combine with the vegetables.

Pour in the coconut milk and add water to cover the omena.

Season with salt, black pepper, and chili flakes to taste.

Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add spinach and lemon juice, cooking until the spinach wilts, about 2-3 minutes.

Garnish with fresh coriander before serving.
