👩‍🍳 HOW TO MAKE IT:
Rub the spices on the chicken and fry it in a pan until golden on both sides. Cut the cabbage into strips.
In a big pot, cook the onion, garlic and ginger in a little oil. Add the cumin and chili powder, then add the tomatoes and cook until soft.
Add the lentils, all the cabbage and the carrots. Pour in the hot stock, put the chicken breasts on top, and put the lid on.
