Ingredients
Vegetables
Spices & Seasoning
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1 tsp Turmeric Powder for color and flavor (optional)
- 1/2 tsp Cumin Powder for added warmth (optional)
Other
- 2-3 cup Water or as needed, to adjust consistency
Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients
- Peel and cube the potatoes. Chop the tomatoes and green chilies. Finely slice the cabbage.
Boil the Vegetables
- In a large pot, combine potatoes, tomatoes, green chilies, salt, turmeric powder (if using), cumin powder (if using), and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Mash and Simmer
- Using a potato masher or fork, coarsely mash the cooked vegetables in the pot. Leave some potatoes chunky for texture. Add the sliced cabbage and simmer for another 5-10 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and the stew has reached your desired consistency. Add more water if needed to thin the stew.
Serve
- Serve hot with steamed rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro or green chilies (optional).
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Naga-Style Potato Stew
- For a spicier stew, add more green chilies or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- If you don't have fresh cabbage, you can substitute with other leafy greens like spinach or mustard greens.
- For a richer flavor, you can sauté the onions and garlic lightly before adding them to the stew (this would not be zero-oil).
- Adjust the amount of water to achieve your preferred stew consistency. A thicker stew is ideal for dipping with rice.
