This is pretty good. I made Injera to go with this and the two went well together. Easy to put together and a good winter dish. Next time I would be inclined to use only 1.5 or even 1 cup of water as the end product was a bit watery. I added some cornstarch and also mashed some of the potatoes and carrots to try to make it thicker. Taste was good though. Thanks for posting!

Fantastic! I served this with Doro Wat (chicken in red pepper paste) and must be served on injera to properly enjoy. I didn't have any fresh garlic so I substituted a tsp. of chinese chili-garlic paste for the garlic and hot peppers which added a nice bit of heat to the veggies.
