Tips from Naz

  • The veggies get cooked in their own moisture. You can swap the cabbage for spinach. 

  • This dish is vegan, gluten-free and nut-free.

  • Can be served with Injera (A fermented flatbread), on its own as a main or side dish.

  2. Add the potatoes, cook for 5 minutes.

  3. Add cabbage and carrots, put lid on and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring gently from time to time.

  4. Turn down the heat. If anything sticks to the bottom, sprinkle a dash of water and stir gently. Continue to cook until the potatoes are tender

  5. Add the fresh chillies before turning off the heat and stir gently. The dish should be moist but not liquidy.
