1/2 tablespoon granulated sugar
3/4 glasses of water

Method:

Afetr cutting the eggplants lengthwise in two, divide from the middle and cube. Peel the gibson onions. Remove the seeds of green peppers and cut into four. Peel and cube the potatoes. Scrape the fibers on top of the okras. If the garlic to be used is the fresh petioles, dice them. If cloves are used, peel them.
