• Medium Potatoes (Optional): 2 (chopped, for those who like a bit of body in their dish)
• Tomato Paste: 3 tbsp (for that rich, deep flavor)
• Ketchup: 1 tbsp (just a touch for some added tanginess)

Seasonings & Spices:

• Salt: 1 tsp (or to taste, depending on how salty you like things)
• Ground Turmeric: 1 tsp (for a bit of color and a gentle earthy flavor)
• Ground Black Pepper: ½ tsp (or to taste; for that essential peppery kick)
• Ground Chili Pepper: ½ tsp (or more, for those who dare! Adjust according to your heat preference)

Step 1: Prepare Sausage and Potatoes

Cut the sausages into 0.5 to 1 cm thick slices, ensuring they are even to cook uniformly. If using potatoes, wash, and half boil them in salted water for 5 minutes, then peel and chop into chunks.

Step 3: Heat the Oil

Put a pan on medium heat and add 3-4 tablespoons of oil.

If desired, add sliced mushrooms and chopped bell peppers to the pan.

Step 7: Season the Ingredients

Season the cooking mixture with salt, black pepper, and chili pepper to taste. Sauté for a couple of minutes.

Step 8: Prepare Tomato Paste

In a separate pan, sauté tomato paste with a little oil until it darkens slightly and the raw flavor is gone.

Step 9: Mix Tomato Base

Mix the cooked tomato paste with ketchup and half a cup of boiling water.

Step 10: Combine All Ingredients

Add the tomato mixture to the pan with sausages and vegetables. Stir well to combine and coat evenly.

Step 11: Optional Cheese Addition

If you like, sprinkle some mozzarella cheese over the ingredients in the pan.
