I usually don't order vegetarian dishes when I eat out, but this is a dish that I find very appetizing even without meat.

Slice the round eggplant and soak it in salt water.
Prepare all the vegetables by chopping them: dice the tomatoes, onions, peppers, and garlic; slice the zucchini.
Add three tablespoons of olive oil to the pot, and you can also add a small spoonful of ghee (optional).
First, add chopped onions and a little salt to the pan, and sauté until the onions soften and slightly change color.
Add garlic and a small amount of chili flakes, stir-fry for two minutes.
Then add all the tomatoes to the pot.
Prepare a cup, pour in cold water, add concentrated tomato sauce, half a spoonful of chili sauce, and half a bouillon cube. Stir well and pour into a pot.
Add a small amount of curry powder, a teaspoon of black pepper powder, a teaspoon of cumin, and an equal amount of thirteen-spice powder to a pot. Mix the seasonings well and bring to a boil over high heat. Then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 40 minutes.
Drain the eggplants that were previously soaked in salt water and set aside.
In a separate pan, add plenty of cooking oil and heat to 180 degrees Celsius before frying the eggplant.
Fry the eggplant until golden brown.
Fry the eggplant until golden brown, then remove and set aside.
Add the fried eggplant to the tomato soup one at a time.
Then continue frying the zucchini in the remaining oil until golden brown, then remove from the oil.
Add the pan-fried zucchini to the soup; by this time, the eggplant should be very flavorful.
Take it out of the pot after 40 minutes.
It goes really well with rice

1. I used round eggplants, so one was enough. If using long eggplants, you might need 3-5. 2. Adding bell peppers is also delicious; the method is similar to the tomato recipe. 3. If you don't have celery, you can use cilantro instead. 4. While cooking, I found some mushrooms at home, so I chopped some and added them to the tomato soup, increasing the simmering time by 10 minutes.
