vegetables are tender but not mushy, about 20 to 30 minutes.
(If making this dish ahead, under cook the vegetables slightly.
Refrigerate the dish for up to 2 days. When re-heating the mixture, add
1/2 cup of water and bring to a simmer over moderate heat before
proceeding.) Stir in the tamarind mixture and the fresh coriander and
cook, uncovered for 5 minutes. Discard the bay leaves and serve.
   NOTE:  Serve with cooling fresh pineapple for those that do not like
the heat.
