Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan or skillet over medium heat.
Add cumin seeds and ginger paste to the hot oil.
Fry for about half a minute until the cumin seeds start to sizzle.
Add shredded cabbage to the pan and mix well with the cumin seeds and ginger paste.
Cover the pan and let the cabbage cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes tender.
After 15 minutes, add the mashed potatoes to the pan along with turmeric powder, chili powder, and salt.
Mix everything well and continue to cook for another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors blend together and the cabbage and potatoes are thoroughly cooked.
Once the curry is cooked to your liking, remove the pan from the heat.
Serve hot as a main dish or as a side with rice or Indian flatbread.
