Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch and set aside.
In a large pan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds and allow them to sizzle and pop for about 30 seconds, releasing their flavors.
Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they turn golden brown.
Stir in the chopped green chili and grated ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the turmeric powder and salt, stirring to coat the onions well with the spices.
Add the chopped tomato and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the tomato softens and begins to integrate into a sauce.
Add the cubed potatoes to the pan, stirring well to coat them with the spice mixture.
Pour in half a cup of water, bring it to a simmer, then cover the pan with a lid. Reduce the heat to low and cook for about 20-25 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and fully cooked, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Once the potatoes are tender, adjust the salt if necessary. Garnish with chopped cilantro just before serving.
Serve the Whole30 Aloo Sabzi hot, as a side dish or a main course, alongside other Whole30-friendly dishes.
