Add the mustard seeds and sauté until the onions/garlic/ginger are golden brown. Add the spices and 1/4 cup boiling water and stir to form a thick paste. Reduce the heat and add the fresh curry leaves. Allow to cook for a further minute or so.
Add the stock cube and 1 cup of boiling water. Bring the mixture back up to a boil. Add the rinsed and drained yellow split peas and 3 cups of boiling water. once the whole mixture has been stirred up and has been brought to a boil, reduce to simmer with the lid on for 40 mins.
After 40 mins, add the coconut milk, turn up the heat a bit and cook for a further 15-20 minutes with the lid off until each pea is super soft and a thick creamy Dahl has formed. Serve with organic brown rice and side salad (optional). For lower carb option, serve on a bed of baby spinach or cauliflower 'rice'.
