Village Singaporean Pan-Fried Vegetable Pastry

Assemble the ingredients: vegetable, tomato, flour, olive oil, stock, cumin, garlic.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the vegetable and cook until pan-fried.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Singaporean flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Singaporean accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
