Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes and set aside in a bowl of water to prevent them from browning.
Finely chop the onion, tomatoes, and green chili. Grate the ginger and garlic.
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and add the cumin seeds. Allow them to sizzle for a few seconds until aromatic.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until they become translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
Add the ginger and garlic, sauté for another minute, then add the green chili.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder. Mix well.
Drain the potatoes and add them to the pan. Stir to coat the potatoes in the spice mixture.
Add water to the pan, bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pan and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through and tender.
Uncover the pan, check the potatoes for doneness by piercing them with a fork. If tender, add the garam masala and stir well.
Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes so all the flavors blend well together.
Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve hot with roti, chapati, or steamed rice.
