Method:

1. Heat oil in a pan. Fry the potatoes with a pinch of turmeric powder and salt till golden brown. Remove from pan and keep aside.

2. In the remaining oil, add bay leaf and jeera and stir for a while.

3. Add green chili and ginger. Saute for a while.

4. Add cabbage.

5. Add turmeric powder and salt. Cook at low flame by covering with a lid till cabbage is cooked. If it releases a lot of water you can cook at medium flame without lid.

6. Add the fried potatoes.

7. Add chili powder, jeera powder and cook for another few minutes.

8. Add garam masala and mix well.

9. You can garnish with chopped cilantro.

Note: You can also add tomatoes and green peas which I forgot to add in it. Add tomatoes and cook them before adding cabbage. And the peas goes later when cabbage is almost cooked.
