1 Step 1: Soak the lentils in water for a couple of hours. I usually soak them for around 2 hours. This helps to reduce the flatulence after eating lentils. Rinse a number of times with water, until the water is relatively clear.2 Step 2: Chop up the garlic, shallots and curry leaves under the ingredients for the curry. Slice the green chillies lengthwise.3 Step 3: Add all the ingredients except for the coconut milk and salt and cook for around 10 minutes on medium high heat.4 Step 4: Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 15 minutes.5 Step 5: Add the salt and coconut milk now and cook on low to medium heat for another 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally so the coconut milk doesn't separate. You can cook for longer if you want less liquid content.6 Step 6: Temparaduwa: Slice the shallots for the temparaduwa.7 Step 7: In another pan heat the oil on medium heat and when hot add the shallots first along with some salt.8 Step 8: As they start to turn golden, add the curry leaves.9 Step 9: Now add the dried red chilli and mustard.10 Step 10: When the mustard starts to pop, remove from the heat and scoop all of it to top the curry.getsaucepan.com/r/3c95eb29-ceda-42ab-9538-edde2d629a7d · Original: https://theokragirl.wordpress.com/2022/02/19/sri-lankan-parippu-dhal-curry-%E0%B6%B4%E0%B6%BB%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%B4%E0%B7%8A%E0%B6%B4%E0%B7%94/
