Now on to the actual cooking.

Find a fairly large, preferably non-stick, pot and chuck some oil into the bottom of it. Then pop your potatoes and carrots in there and fry them up a little on high until they get some colour. If you have decided to have quite large chunks of capsicum you may want to add it at this stage - otherwise leave it till later. This will probably need a fair bit of stirring so don't go wandering off at this stage - there will be plenty of time for that later.
  
 
 Step 3:

Now add water to completely cover your veggies - add all the other ingredients as well. Essentially you want to use enough stock, soy sauce, salt and pepper to give a nice flavour. This will depend a lot on how much water you use. You can always add more later if the flavour isn't quite right so don't worry too much.

If someone you're serving doesn't like things too spicy don't use all of the chilli or they will complain alot which may spoil the meal.
