    Make sure that the cabbage begins to soften first before adding the curry powder and turmeric, stir in and make sure all the cabbage is covered in curry powder.

    Once you see the cabbage start to cook, turn the heat down a bit and place lid on pot to steam the cabbage, stirring occasionally.
