Begin by finely chopping the cabbage into thin shreds and set aside.
Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger.
Chop the tomatoes and slit the green chilies lengthwise.
In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan, stirring for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Mix in the turmeric, coriander, and cumin powder and stir to combine with the onion, garlic, and ginger. Cook for 1 minute.
Add the tomatoes and green chilies, cooking for 5 minutes until tomatoes are softened.
Stir in the shredded cabbage, ensuring it's well coated with the spice and tomato mixture.
Pour in the coconut milk, stirring to integrate everything. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Cover the pan and let it cook for about 10-12 minutes until the cabbage is tender.
Remove the lid and increase the heat slightly to help thicken the curry, stirring occasionally.
Add the lemon juice and freshly ground black pepper, adjusting seasoning if necessary.
Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve hot with brown rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
