First, peel the carrots and eggplants. Then, cut the eggplants and set them with salt for 15 minutes off to the side.
Cut up the carrots and okra into slices and mix together. Slice up onions in separate bowl.
Time to get back to the eggplant. Place a cup and a half of flour into a bowl. Piece by piece with hands, squeeze out each piece of eggplant of extra water and coat once with flour and place in pan with boiling oil until a bit brown (-5 minutes) and place off to the side
Now, put the onions in the same pan with oil until cooked down. After about 10 min, add cut up carrots and okra. Cook together for 10 minutes and add the meat. Add zachin (2 spoons of the yellow spice I mentioned before), black pepper (half spoon), red pepper/paprika (2 small spoons) and 2 small spoons of leftover flour.
Add-3 2 cups of water (400g) until all veggies covered for 5 minutes
Put in oiled baking pan and level it. Cover the fried pieces of eggplant and push down a little so they’re covered a bit. Now put top on dish and put on stove for 10 minute.
for 40-60 minutes put in oven on 250 degrees celcius. You’ll know it’s done when most of the water in the dish has evaporated.
“This photo was taken during the first annual science and math fair held at my primary school in Macedonia. Prior to this event my school had no science equipment and all classes were taught strictly out of the book. The teachers were interested in getting the students more involved and interested in science and asked what I could do to help. Together, we wrote a SPA project in order to establish a science fair and provide all of the necessary equipment to conduct experiments. Students worked in groups and followed the scientific method to form their projects. In this picture my seventh grade students are demonstrating magnetism.”
