*When making this recipe, you do not have to worry about exact quantities of each item. If you want to use 1/2 a cabbage, then go right ahead. If you love potatoes and want more potatoes in this, indulge your love. If you want less lentils or want to use a canned bean instead, then go ahead with your substitution.
**Do remember that all stoves differ in temperature and according to location. Do keep this in mind when it comes to cooking times.
