Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add chopped onions and sauté for about 5 minutes until they become translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.
Mix in the ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the potatoes with the spices.
Add the chopped tomatoes to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes, letting them soften.
Add the cauliflower florets, stirring to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Allow the mixture to cook for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes and cauliflower are tender.
Stir occasionally, and if needed, add a tablespoon of water to prevent sticking.
Once cooked, remove from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro and lemon juice.
Serve hot as a side dish or as a main course with whole-grain flatbread or brown rice.
