Peel and cut the potatoes and pumpkin into small cubes, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a medium-sized pan over medium heat.
Add 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds to the hot oil and allow them to splutter.
Add a pinch of asafoetida and stir briefly.
Add the diced potatoes and pumpkin to the pan, stirring well to mix with the spices.
Sprinkle 0.5 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 0.5 teaspoon of red chili powder, and 1 teaspoon of coriander powder over the vegetables.
Stir the mixture well so the spice powders coat the potatoes and pumpkin evenly.
Add 1 teaspoon of salt and 250 milliliters of water to the pan. Stir once more to combine.
Cover the pan with a lid and let the vegetables cook on low heat for about 20-25 minutes until they are tender, stirring occasionally.
Once the vegetables are cooked and the water has mostly evaporated, sprinkle 0.5 teaspoon of garam masala over the sabji and give it a final stir.
Garnish with 2 tablespoons of chopped cilantro and serve hot.
