Steps:

• Shred the cabbage coarsley.
• Measure out the crushed red chilis, ginger, mustard seeds, cumin, bay leaves, coriander, turmeric, and salt.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet (I use a large saucepan) and stir in the prepared spices. Heat the spices gently for about 2 minutes stirring often.
• Add the shredded cabbage and saute it stirring often, until it is all evenly coated with the spices and beginning to wilt, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Add the water and the peas, cover, and cook over medium heat for 20 minutes.
• Remove the cover, stir in the butter, garam masala, lemon juice, and sugar, and simmer uncovered, for another 10 to 15 minutes. There should be very little or no excess liquid at this point. ( although I like to leave some because I think it's delicious!).
• Stir in a little yogurt if desired and serve hot with rice and raita.

Steps:

• Soak the chickpeas overnight in water to cover. Drain, recover with fresh water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer covered until very tender. Drain and reserve the cooking liquid. Add enough water to the reserved cooking liquid to equal 2 1/2 cups.
• Put the onion, garlic, peppers and 1/4 cup of water in a blender and process until smooth. You can always add more pepper in the end, but you can't take it away.
• Heat the oil over a medium high heat. Put in the onion paste and stir fry for 2-3 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to medium low, then cover and continue cooking the paste. for another 2-3 minutes. Stir it frequently just to prevent sticking, and keep it covered between stirs.
• Add the curry powder and the cumin, stir.
• Add the chickpeas, potatoes, the lesser amount of salt, and the reserved chickpea cooking liquid.
• Bring to a boil then reduce heat and cover. Cook gently, stirring occasionally until the potatoes are done to your tastes, 20 - 25 minutes.
• Add in the cabbage and an additional 1/2 - 1 cup of hot water. Bring back to a simmer, cover and cook for an additional 10 - 15 minutes, or until the cabbage is just softened. Do not over cook the cabbage.
• Taste and adjust the salt/ peppers to your tastes.
