Peel and slice the plantains into 1-inch pieces.
In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped tomatoes to the skillet and cook until they break down and form a sauce-like consistency, about 5-6 minutes.
Stir in the ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well to combine the flavors.
Add the sliced plantains to the pan, tossing them to coat with the spices and tomato mixture.
Pour in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Cover and cook on low heat for about 20 minutes, or until the plantains are tender and the flavors have melded together.
Once cooked, adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or spices to taste.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro leaves before serving.
Serve hot. This dish pairs well with cauliflower rice or a simple salad.
