Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds until aromatic.
Add the sliced onions and sautΓ© until they become soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and green chili. Cook for another 2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, and coriander powder. Cook until the tomatoes break down and the mixture becomes like a paste, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Add the diced potatoes and cauliflower florets to the pan. Stir well to coat the vegetables with the spice mixture.
Pour in the water and mix well. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan with a lid, and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the potatoes and cauliflower are tender.
Sprinkle the garam masala over the cooked vegetables. Mix well to combine.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve hot with roti, naan, or steamed rice for a complete meal.
