• 300 g green cabbage
• 1 large onion
• 3 pieces garlic cloves
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger
• 2 large tomatoes
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil

• 0.5 tsp red chili powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 cups water
• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Shred the cabbage into thin strips and set both aside.

Step 2

Rinse and drain the canned chickpeas. Finely chop the onion, garlic, and ginger. Dice the tomatoes into small pieces.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden brown.

Step 5

Add the garlic and ginger and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Stir in the diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Cook for 3-5 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to break down into a thick paste.

Step 7

Add the ground coriander, turmeric, cumin, garam masala, chili powder, and salt. Stir well to coat the mixture with spices.

Step 8

Add the diced potatoes and mix to coat them in the spice mixture. Pour in 2 cups of water and bring to a simmer.

Step 9

Cover the pot and cook the potatoes for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 10

Add the shredded cabbage and chickpeas to the pot. Stir to combine and simmer for another 20 minutes, uncovered, until the vegetables are tender and the sauce has thickened.

Step 11

Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or spices if needed. Stir in the lime or lemon juice.

Step 12

Garnish the curry with fresh cilantro before serving. Serve hot with steamed rice, naan, or flatbread.
