A gentle vegetable curry made without garlic, onion, or root vegetables — shaped by Jainism's strict dietary rules.

Jains, who practice strict non-violence (ahimsa), avoid root vegetables like potato, garlic, and onion, since harvesting them kills the microorganisms living in the soil around the root. Born from this constraint, this dish uses only above-ground vegetables like cabbage and bell pepper, seasoned with nothing more than cumin and ginger — clean and gentle in flavor.
Roughly chop the cabbage and green pepper; finely chop the tomato.
Heat oil in a pan and fry the cumin seeds until fragrant.
Add the minced ginger and green chili, and stir-fry.
Add the tomato and cook until it breaks down.
Add the cabbage, green pepper, green peas, and turmeric, cover, and steam over low heat for about 10 minutes.
Season with salt to finish.
