Aleecha is a mixed vegetable stew.
Quemam contains an ingredient not found in the US.
I'd substitute dry berebere.
In dry pan over moderate low heat, stir fry onion,
garlic, and carrots for 2 mins. Add 1/2c of the water
and cook 5 mins longer. Add the oil and continue to
simmer.

Add the tumeric, chilies, and cabbage. Cover the pan
and steam to reduce the bulk for 2 mins. Stir well
and add the quemam, tomato paste, salt and the
potatoes.

Cover the pan and cook for 5 mins. Add the remaining
water and simmer for 5 minutes more to soften the
potatoes and thicken the sauce somewhat.

Serve at room temperature with Injeera.
