Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubed pieces. Set them aside.
Finely chop the onion, garlic, ginger, and green chili. Dice the tomato and set aside.
Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and allow them to crackle for about 30 seconds.
Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté until they turn golden brown about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic, ginger, and green chili. Sauté for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the diced tomato and cook until they soften and oil starts to separate from the mixture.
Stir in the turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, and salt. Cook for 1 minute, ensuring the spices do not burn.
Add the cubed potatoes to the mixture and stir well to coat them with the spices.
Pour in the water, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
Once the potatoes are cooked, add the boiled chickpeas and cook for another 5 minutes to combine the flavors.
Finally, sprinkle garam masala over the sabji and mix well.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving.
Serve hot with roti, naan, or rice.
