Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, then cut the cabbage into quarters and remove the core. Thinly slice each quarter to create shreds.
Heat coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté for 5 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped tomato and cook for 3 minutes until softened.
Mix in the curry powder, turmeric, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat the onion and tomato mixture with the spices.
Add the sliced cabbage to the pan, stirring to combine with the spice mixture.
Pour in the water and stir. Cover the pan and let the curry simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender, stirring occasionally.
Once cooked, remove the lid and increase the heat to allow any excess liquid to evaporate if necessary.
Stir in the chopped cilantro and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve warm as a main dish or a side.
