Cooking the vegetables
Return the pot to the heat and add the coconut oil.

Add the garlic, ginger and green peppers. Cook until vegetables are tender, around 1-2 min.
Add the carrots and water to the pot and cover it. Cook until they begin to soften (about 10 min).
Measure and set aside 1 tsp of the spice mixture, this will be used to toss with the coconut later.
Add tomatoes, chickpeas and the remaining spice mixture to the pot, and stir.
Cover the pot and leave to cook, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender and the sauce has thickened, or about 5-10 min.
Add the Choy Sum (Chinese Flowering Cabbage) 1 min before turning off the heat, and set aside
