Ingredients

• 3 medium-sized Sweet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
• 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
• 1 medium, diced Tomato
• 1 teaspoon, grated Fresh ginger
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon or to taste Sea salt
• 1 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Peel the sweet potatoes and dice them into small, equal-sized cubes.

Step 2

Heat the coconut oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the cumin seeds and mustard seeds.

Step 3

Sauté the seeds until they start to splutter, then add the finely chopped onion to the pan.

Step 4

Cook the onion until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan, and sauté for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Stir in the diced tomato, and cook until the tomatoes become soft and pulpy, about 4 minutes.

Step 7

Add turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for 2 minutes to allow the spices to release their flavors.

Step 8

Add the diced sweet potatoes to the pan, and stir to coat them thoroughly with the spice mixture.

Step 9

Pour in the water, mix well, and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 10

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the sweet potatoes cook for about 15-20 minutes or until they are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 11

Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, uncover the pan, and let any excess liquid evaporate, if necessary, to achieve a slightly thick consistency.

Step 12

Turn off the heat and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 13

Serve the Paleo Aloo Sabzi hot, as a side or a main dish, with your choice of Paleo-friendly accompaniments.
