½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp cayenne
1 tsp ground turmeric
2 tsp ground coriander
500g potatoes, scrubbed and cut into cubes

Heat the coconut oil in a heavy-based large pot over a moderate heat.
Add the cumin and mustard seeds and cook for 1-2 minutes.
Add the onion and cook for a further 2 minutes.
Now add the garlic, cayenne, turmeric and coriander and cook for another minute - you will notice a lovely aroma.
Add the potatoes, cabbage and tomatoes and fry lightly in the spices, add quarter of a cup of water and stir well. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until the potatoes are tender (about 30 minutes).
Once cooked, add the coriander, spring onions and a squeeze of lime.
