Wash and cut eggplant and potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Finely dice the onion, mince the garlic and ginger, and chop tomatoes.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and stir until they sizzle (about 30 seconds), then add onions and sauté until translucent, 3-5 minutes.
Add minced garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute on medium-low to release their aroma.
Stir in turmeric, ground coriander, ground cumin, and red chili powder. Mix until spices are evenly distributed and fragrant, careful not to burn the spices.
Add potatoes to the pan, increase heat to medium-high, and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Add chopped eggplant and tomatoes. Sprinkle salt, reduce heat to medium, and cover. Cook for 15-18 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until vegetables are soft but not mushy.
Uncover and turn heat to high for 2 minutes to evaporate excess moisture if needed. Sprinkle garam masala and adjust seasoning.
Turn off the heat, garnish with chopped cilantro, and rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
