Method
In a frypan heat on medium heat 2 teaspoons of EVOO and add cumin seeds and let them crackle. Add the onions and cook for 5-6 minutes until translucent. Add the ginger-garlic and cook for another 2 minutes.
Add tomatoes and spices, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder and amchur (mango powder). Cover the pan and allow the masala to cook for 2-3 minutes and then add the potatoes and cauliflower to it and mix.
Add chopped coriander leaves and stir and add garam masala and cook on medium-low heat for 5-6 minutes.
Add salt and cover the pan and cook more additional 6-7 minutes on low flame or till the potato and cauliflower are tender but not soggy.
If you feel the masala is sticking, you may add some water. Add 1 tablespoon at a time and only add enough to cook through and add fenugreek. Adjust spice levels to taste.
