Steps

Toast cumin, fennel, peppercorns, and fenugreek in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes, then grind them with chili powder, coriander, and garlic.
Stir the spice mixture with tamarind, yogurt, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to make a thick sauce.
Cook onion and curry leaves in 2 teaspoons oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat for 8 minutes.
Add tofu, cauliflower, potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, the remaining salt, and the sauce, then stir to coat.
Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 25 minutes, adding water if needed, until the potatoes are tender.
Uncover and cook for 5 minutes, stirring gently, until the sauce thickens.
