Equipment

  • Large pot

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • 3 medium Yukon gold potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 4 cups green cabbage thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes
  • 1 13.5-ounce can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Add the turmeric, cumin, coriander, garam masala, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes. Toast the spices for 30 seconds to release their flavor.
  • Add the cubed potatoes and cabbage, stirring to coat them in the spices. Mix in the tomato paste and cook for another minute.
  • Pour in the diced tomatoes, coconut milk, and vegetable broth. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the cabbage is soft.
  • Season with salt, black pepper, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to brighten everything up. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve warm over basmati rice or alongside naan.
