Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the 3 medium potatoes chunks and saute for 5-6 minutes.
Now add the 1 small cauliflower florets and saute for another 7-8 minutes until you see brown spots on the cauliflower and potatoes. Drain to a kitchen tissue and set aside.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in the pan over medium high heat, add 1 tsp cumin seeds and allow it to splutter.
Add the 1 medium onion, 1 tbsp ginger & 1 tsp garlic, green chillies (if using any) and saute until light brown - about 6-7 minutes.
Now add the diced 2 medium tomatoes and spices powders - ¾ tsp turmeric powder, ½- 1 tsp Kashmiri chilli powder, ¾ tsp coriander powder, ½ tsp cumin powder and ¾ tsp salt to taste. Stir them together. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or so.
Add the roasted potatoes, cauliflower and stir to coat with the masala. Reduce the heat and cover the pan with the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring every now and then.
Add ½ tsp Garam Masala and mix well. Cover and cook for additional 8-10 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and not mushy.
If the masala is sticking at the bottom of the pan, add a splash of water just enough to cook the vegetables. Tomato lends the moisture to the cauliflower & potatoes in this curry. I have not added any water to cook this curry.
Finally, add 4 tbsp coriander leaves, ½ lemon juice and stir to mix. Serve this healthy cauliflower with potatoes ( gobi aloo ) along withroti and pickle.
