4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
½ teaspoon Turmeric
½ pounds Potatoes, cubed
1 each Onion, finely chopped
1 each Bay leaf
½ teaspoon Cumin, ground
½ teaspoon Ginger, ground
¼ teaspoon Chili powder
4 eaches Tomatoes, chopped
1 cup Cabbage, finely sliced
½ cup Peas
Oil
Salt

Directions

Start by heating the oil in a heavy pan and put in the tumeric and some salt. Fry for a few seconds and then add the cubed potatoes, turning frequently so that they turn yellow from the tumeric. Cook them for 5-10 minutes (they will complete their cooking later) and remove them from the oil and set aside. Adding more oil if necessary, now saute the onion slices until they are soft and transparent. Then add the bay leaf, cumin, ginger and chili powder. Stir well and put in the tomatoes. When they have begun to break down, add the cabbage bit by bit, stirring it in well so that it is sauteed in the spices.

Cover and cook gently for 3-5 minutes. Finally put in the peas and semi-fried potatoes and seasoning.Mix well, replace the cover and continue to cook for 5-10 minutes or until potatoes are ready.
