This Cabbage Potato Curry is:
- easy to make
- super nourishing
- a great use of cheap ingredients!
In theory, cabbage is a wonderful vegetable: it's cheap, really healthy, and pretty effortless to cook. In practice, however, it does need a little help in the taste department. So, I got thinking about different ways I could use it.
I decided to throw it in a fragrant, spicy curry infused with smoky paprika, cheerful turmeric, earthy cumin, fragrant coriander, creamy coconut and sweet tomatoes.
Potatoes make another cheap, healthy and effortless addition, and work well to soak up the kaleidoscopic flavours of the curry. If you're not into potatoes you could substitute them with sweet potatoes.
For extra protein, you could add some tofu, chickpeas, green peas or cashew nuts.
This curry is good for batch cooking and meal prep as it keeps well in the fridge for up to a few days, and makes a nice packed lunch as long as you have somewhere to heat it up!
Unfortunately, it doesn't freeze well as potatoes become mushy when frozen and defrosted. If you would like to freeze this curry, I would recommend substituting the potatoes with sweet potatoes.

Thank you! I haven't measured this out but you won't need very much, as there's already the coconut milk and tinned tomatoes. I'd say around 1/2 cup probably.

I loved the flavors of this dish, but it makes enough for 10, not four. Next time, I will use only 1 lb of potatoes (which I never peel) and double the spices. This will improve the texture by allowing the cabbage to take a larger role in each serving.
After the potatoes were cooked, I used an immersion blender to blend about half, which thickened the broth so it's more like a stew. Then I added a can of drained chickpeas and simmered another 10 minutes. I also topped it with additional fresh cilantro. Great meal with garlic naan and roasted beet/arugula salad!Reply
