Peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Cut the cauliflower into similar sized florets.
Heat oil in a large pan or a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them crackle for a few seconds.
Add the chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced ginger and garlic, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes and cook until they soften, about 3-4 minutes.
Mix in the turmeric powder, ground coriander, red chili powder, and salt. Stir well to incorporate the spices.
Add the diced potatoes and chickpeas. Stir to coat them with the spice mixture.
Pour in the water, cover the pan, and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes.
Add the cauliflower florets and tofu cubes to the pan. Stir to combine.
Cover and cook on low heat for another 15-20 minutes, until the potatoes and cauliflower are cooked through and tender.
Stir in the garam masala and lemon juice. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to blend the flavors.
Garnish the sabji with fresh cilantro before serving.
Serve hot with roti, naan, or rice.
