Peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes, set aside.
Finely chop the onion, tomatoes, garlic, and ginger. Slice the green chili.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds until they release their aroma.
Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté until they are golden brown, about 5-6 minutes.
Stir in the garlic, ginger, and green chili. Cook for another 2 minutes until the mixture is fragrant.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften and the oil starts to separate, about 5 minutes.
Mix in the turmeric powder, coriander powder, garam masala, and red chili powder. Stir well to combine.
Add the diced potatoes to the pan, ensuring they are well coated with the spice mixture.
Pour in the water and add salt. Stir, cover the pan with a lid, and let it simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
Check occasionally, stirring to ensure nothing sticks to the bottom and adding more water if necessary to prevent drying out.
Once the potatoes are cooked and the sauce is thickened, remove from heat.
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.
Serve hot with steamed rice or flatbreads.
