Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into small cubes, approximately 1 inch in size.
Heat the coconut oil in a large frying pan or skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the diced sweet potatoes to the pan and stir well to coat them with the cumin seeds and oil.
Sprinkle turmeric powder, coriander powder, dry mango powder, red chili powder, and salt over the sweet potatoes. Stir everything together to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Cover the pan with a lid and let the sweet potatoes cook on medium-low heat. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Cook the sweet potatoes until they are tender and cooked through, about 20-25 minutes. Test with a fork or knife; it should easily go through the sweet potatoes.
Once cooked, remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes while stirring frequently to slightly crisp the sweet potatoes.
Turn off the heat and garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
Serve hot as a side dish with your choice of paleo-friendly entree.
