- 0.5 teaspoon garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon (optional) red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) salt
- 0.25 cup water

Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into medium-sized cubes. Wash and cut the cauliflower into small florets.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Add the cumin seeds to the hot oil and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds until aromatic.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, ginger, and green chili (if using). Cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Add the chopped tomato and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it breaks down and becomes slightly saucy.
Mix in the turmeric powder, ground coriander, ground cumin, garam masala, red chili powder (if using), and salt. Stir well to incorporate the spices.
Add the potatoes and cauliflower to the pan. Stir well to coat the vegetables in the spice mixture.
Pour in the water and cover the pan with a lid. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the vegetables cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes and cauliflower are tender.
Once the vegetables are cooked and any excess water has evaporated, turn off the heat.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
Serve hot with rice, naan, or chapati and enjoy!
