This is the basic recipe my mother-in-law uses and calls it "Jumbot". She would use fresh tomatoes instead, and anything else she had on hand, any and all vegies left over.I used to turn my nose up at it all the time, and then I finally tried it, now I ask her to make it for me. Wonderful blend of seasonings, such a nice, simple, fairly healthy one dish dinner. I don't recall using the eggs though, and it was still dinner with a fork!! Something special added would be hot sausage, browned and added to the pot!! Mmm Mmm Mmm!!!!!

This was average. I probably won't make it again. I see your daughter loves her mum's cooking though Gingerbee!
