Kobi-Batata Shaak

1 tb Vegetable oil

2 ts Cumin or mustard seeds

2 1/2 c Potatoes

-- cut into 3/4-inch pieces 1 c Shredded green cabbage

-- or up to twice as much 1/2 ts Cumin powder

1 1/2 ts Coriander powder

1/2 ts Turmeric powder

1/2 ts Red chili powder

2 tb Fresh cilantro, chopped

3/4 ts Lemon juice

1/4 c Tomatoes, chopped

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cumin or mustard seeds. Cook until seeds turn golden brown (for cumin) or gray (for mustard) and release their aroma, about 1 minute. Seeds will "pop" as they cook. Watch seeds closely to be sure they don't overcook. Add potatoes into the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and continue cooking for 15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent the potato mixture from sticking to skillet. Add cabbage and continue cooking until vegetables are semi-tender. Add spices and stir to evenly coat vegetables. Cook until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in cilantro, lemon juice and tomatoes and serve immediately.
