In a stock pot or a very large skillet, sauté carrots and onion in olive oil over medium heat for 3 minutes. Add garlic and ginger. Continue to simmer for 2 more minutes or until the vegetables are just softened.
Stir in cumin, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Cook for 30 seconds. Then, mix in the cabbage.
Continue cooking for another 15 minutes, stirring regularly. NOTE: If the cabbage starts to stick, add a little water and reduce heat.
Add the potatoes and cover. Reduce heat to medium-low. Continue cooking until potatoes are soft, which may take another 30 minutes or so. Stir periodically to prevent sticking.
Once the potatoes are soft, this dish is ready to eat! Enjoy!
