Heat ½ cup of oil in a large saucepan. Cook 1 chopped onion and 2 teaspoons of minced garlic until soft.
Add 2 cups of sliced carrots, 450g of potatoes cut into chunks, and 1 large diced tomato.
Stir in 1½ teaspoons of smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of ground turmeric, ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Add 1 cup of water and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until the potatoes are almost tender, adding more water if needed.
Add 600g of chopped cabbage and 1 chopped green bell pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp.
