3. Add lentils and liquids
Add the red lentils, coconut milk and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring now and then.
Cook until the lentils are soft and the texture is creamy.
4. Season and serve
Season with freshly ground pepper. A splash of lemon adds a fresh finish if you like.
Serve the daal with the cooked rice and top with fresh coriander, if desired.
