   2       ts           Ground Coriander
   2       ts           Ground Cumin
   2       ts           Ground Turmeric
   1       t            Ground Chili
   4                    Cardamom Pods
   4                    Cloves
   1                    2-inch Stick of Cinnamon

   4       oz           Desiccated Coconut
   2                    Tomatoes

  Wash the Lentils well with plenty of water, put into a
  saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to the boil
  and boil gently until the Lentils are soft. Meanwhile,
  heat the Ghee or Oil in a frying pan and fry the Onion
  and Garlic. When the Onion softens add the Coriander,
  Cumin, Turmeric, and Chili, mixing well. Cook for two
  minutes, then add the Cardamoms, Cloves, and Cinammon.
  Now add the Lentils together with any liquid they have
  been cooking in and stir rapidly to ensure the spices
  mix in well. Add a little more water if necessary.
  (This dish should be fairly liquid.) Add the Salt and
  continue to cook for a further 5 minutes. Blend the
  Coconut with 2/3 Cup Water in a liquidiser and add to
  the pan. Chop the Tomatoes into quarters and add to
  the Dal just before serving.
