Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet or pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, turmeric, cumin, and paprika, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet and stir well to coat it with the spices.
Add the sliced carrots and cubed potatoes to the skillet, mixing them into the cabbage mixture.

Pour in the 1/4 cup of water and stir. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low.
Let the vegetables cook for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots and potatoes are tender and the cabbage is soft.
