Tips

Wash all the vegetables really well with clean water before cutting them for use.
You may season the vegetable preparation with salt and spices based on your taste preference.
Make sure you do not undercook the potatoes and over cook the cabbage. This may be avoided by making sure the potatoes are nearly half done by the time you add cabbage to the vegetables.
You may add more vegetable broth to make the Ethiopian cabbage preparation more watery and syrupy in consistency, in case you plan to serve it with a dry side dish.
