Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
Finely chop the onion and set aside.
Mince the garlic and ginger.
Grate or finely chop the tomato.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat.
Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté for about 4-5 minutes until they become translucent.
Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the grated tomato, turmeric powder, ground coriander, ground cumin, and cayenne pepper to the pan. Stir well to combine.
Let the mixture cook for about 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes soften and the spices are well incorporated.
Add the sweet potato cubes to the pan and stir them so they are well coated with the spice mixture.
Pour in the water and stir again. Cover the pan with a lid and let it simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes.
Stir in the cauliflower florets with the sweet potatoes.
Cover and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Check for seasoning and adjust salt if needed.
Once the vegetables are tender, sprinkle garam masala over the top and stir gently.
Garnish with chopped cilantro leaves before serving.
