Heat a bit of oil in a small frying pan. When hot add cumin seeds, asafoetida and onion and mix. When onion is browned add spices, garlic and water-soaked ginger; stir together. Stir in tomato purée and enough water so as not to burn the spices. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
Transfer mixture to a medium saucepan. Add 200ml water, aubergine and potato; mix and let simmer for about 5 minutes. Stir in salt and coriander and mix well. Cover and cook for 20 minutes over medium heat.
