Step 1: Mix the ginger, garlic, coriander, turmeric, and 1/2 cup water in a small bowl. This is the wet masala. Set aside.
Step 2: In a large pot, warm the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking. Add the Serrano pepper, wait 30 seconds, and then add the cumin seeds and wait until they're done spluttering.
Step 3: Add the wet masala (careful, it will also splutter). Cook until the paste thickens, deepens in color slightly, and oil oozes out of the perimeter of the masala, about 2 minutes.
Step 4: Add the cauliflower and potatoes, stirring to coat the vegetables with the masala. Season with salt and add 1/2 cup water.
Step 5: Cover and cook over medium heat 10 to 15 minutes. Then, remove the lid, stir, and cook until the cauliflower and potatoes are cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Step 6: Garnish with cilantro and serve.
