For all you chili lovers out there this chili will hit the spot. This chili is a great vegan option for vegans as well as everyone else. This dish incorporates many vegetables in it and provides a very tasty chili as well. Slightly on the spicier side, you will get a nice kick of heat from the cumin spice in the dish. The ‘Ulu is a wonderful surprise in the dish which gives off a great starchy taste. Some prep work goes into this dish, having to wash and cut up all your vegetables, but the cook time is extremely fast. This dish is very liquid, so cornstarch was necessary to thicken the chili to thicker chili like consistency. The taste and flavor of the chili was very good.
