Matoke & Potatoes

This is a traditional Ugandan dish; I made it the other day for a party we had at our house (we only served Ugandan food), and it was a hit!

3-4 plantains, peeled and cubed (large chunks)
1 onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
6 red potatoes, peeled & cubed
4 tomatoes, chopped
coriander, to taste
tumeric, to taste
curry powder, to taste
cumin, to taste
garlic, to taste
salt, to taste
olive oil

Heat olive oil in large sauce pan on medium high heat; add onions and saute until tender. Add bell pepper and garlic and  cook for three minutes.

Add potatoes and cook for five minutes. Add the tomatoes and coriander, stirring to prevent sticking. Add the tumeric, cumin, and curry (amounts vary, based on liking).

Once the tomatoes are cooked, add 1 1/2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Add the plantains and salt.

Continue boiling; reduce heat and simmer when nearly cooked (when plantains & potatoes are soft enough to your liking, and the spices have all blended nicely).
