Preparation
- Step 1
Boil chicken with ginger and onion half in water. Meanwhile, in a separate large pot, heat tomato paste in the oil over low heat for about five minutes. Add the chopped onions and chopped tomatoes to the paste, stirring occasionally until the onions are translucent.
- Step 2
Scoop out the partly cooked chicken pieces and add along with about half the broth to the tomato mixture. Add the peanut butter, salt and chilies. Cook for five minutes before stirring in the eggplant and okra. Continue cooking until chicken and vegetables are tender. Add more broth as needed to maintain a thick, stewy consistency.

Thank you for this! We call this "Tigadegena" in Bambara, and it was my favorite dish when I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Mali. For some additional umami, I would recommend a Maggi cube for authenticity and perhaps a little fish sauce to replace the pounded dried fish my Malian friends used.
