Place the soy chunks in a bowl and pour the boiling water over them. Let them soak for about 10 minutes until they soften. After soaking, drain the water and squeeze out any excess liquid from the soy chunks. Set aside.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized cubes. Set aside.
In a large pan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds until they start to pop.
Finely chop the onion and add it to the pan. Sauté until the onion turns translucent.
Grate the ginger and mince the garlic cloves. Add them to the pan and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Chop the tomato and add it to the pan. Cook until the tomato becomes soft and the oil starts to separate from the mixture.
Add the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder to the pan. Stir well to combine the spices with the onion-tomato mixture.
Add the cubed potatoes to the pan. Stir to coat them with the spice mixture. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the soaked and drained soy chunks to the pan. Mix well with the potatoes and spices.
Pour in the 1 cup of water and add salt to the pan. Stir everything together, then cover with a lid.
Let the sabji simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and cooked through. Stir occasionally and add more water if needed to prevent sticking.
Once the potatoes are cooked, adjust the salt and spices as needed.
Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving. Serve hot.
