  2. Heat up the oil and saute the onions and garlic together with curry and thyme.

  3. Add the tomato paste, fry this for some seconds and add the blended fresh tomatoes and pepper.

  4. Stir together and fry till the water dries up (i.e the oil separates)

  5. Add the crayfish, stock cube, some salt and water or meat stock if you have. You can also add some chicken seasoning.

  6. Bring to boil, add the parboiled spaghetti, mix together and simmer on medium heat till the water is almost dried up.

  7. Add the chopped vegetables (carrots, green beans, green pea, cabbage, green pepper), cover the pot and allow the water to dry completely.

  8. Mix very well and serve with your protein of choice (boiled eggs, beef chicken, etc.) and your favourite side dish (plantain, coleslaw, etc).
