1
Dice the vegetables
Cutting Board
Chef’s knife

Wash, peel, and dice the potatoes and carrots small; dice the bell peppers, onion, and tomatoes into small, even pieces for suqaar-style cooking.

Use a stable cutting board and keep your fingers tucked while dicing the vegetables small.

1 pound potato
7 ounces carrot
1 Count green bell pepper
1 Count red bell pepper
7 ounces yellow onion
10 5/8 ounces tomato
2
Soften the onion
Large skillet with lid
Wooden spoon

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the onion and cook for 3 minutes, stirring often, until softened and fragrant but not browned.

Keep the skillet handle turned inward to help prevent spills.

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
7 ounces yellow onion
3
Start the potatoes and carrots
Measuring Spoons
Large skillet with lid
Wooden spoon

Add the potatoes, carrots, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook for 5 minutes, stirring often, until the vegetables start to lightly brown and coat well in the oil.

Stir the potatoes regularly so they do not stick, scorch, or brown too deeply.

1 pound potato
7 ounces carrot
1/2 teaspoon salt
4
Cook covered until nearly tender
Large skillet with lid
Wooden spoon

Cover the skillet and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring every few minutes, until the potatoes are almost tender and the carrots are slightly softened.

Open the lid away from your face to avoid hot steam.

5
Toast the spices
Measuring Spoons
Large skillet with lid
Wooden spoon

Stir in the cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cardamom; cook for 30 seconds until the spices are toasted and aromatic and the vegetables are evenly coated.

1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
6
Finish with peppers and tomatoes
Measuring Spoons
Large skillet with lid
Wooden spoon

Add the green bell pepper, red bell pepper, Roma tomatoes, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt; sauté uncovered for 6 to 8 minutes until the tomatoes turn lightly saucy and the potatoes are fully tender.

1 Count green bell pepper
1 Count red bell pepper
10 5/8 ounces tomato
1/2 teaspoon salt
7
Adjust texture and serve
Large skillet with lid
Wooden spoon

Taste, then cook 1 to 2 minutes longer if needed until the suqaar is moist but not watery and the diced vegetables stay distinct and tender.
