Chop the bodi. Heat oil in an iron pot and saute the garlic. Add the onion and pimento. Mix the curry powder in a little water (about 1/3 cup). Pour into the pot and turn regularly until the mixture is thick.
Add the bodi and potatoes and stir until coated with the curry. Add 1½cup of water and cook the potatoes and bodi until tender.
Add the rest of the ingredients and season to taste. Cook until water cooks down and the mixture is tender and thick.
