Place the dal and rice in a large pot and cover with cold water. Rinse to release as much starch as possible. Drain and repeat the process two more times. Return the rice and dal to the pot, cover with water and set aside.
Meanwhile, peel and finely chop the onion. Split the cardamom pods open with the back of a knife. Heat a large pan over a medium-high heat with the coconut oil. Add the onions and curry leaves. Fry for 7 min. Add the garam masala, cumin seeds, ginger garlic paste and cardamom pods and fry with a pinch of salt for 5 min until soft.
Meanwhile, roughly chop the cherry tomatoes. Rinse and drain the dal and rice a final time. Once the onion is soft, add the tomatoes, turmeric, dal, rice, cinnamon stick, water, sugar and stock cube. Cover and simmer for 20 min until the dal are soft.
Meanwhile, boil a kettle. Place the spinach in a colander and pour the freshly boiled water from the kettle over it. Once the spinach is cool enough to handle, give it a good squeeze and chop it roughly. Peel and mince the garlic. Finely chop the green chilli. Finely chop the coriander leaves.
Heat a second pan over a medium heat with the vegan butter. Add the garlic, chilli (spicy!), spinach and coriander. Stir-fry for 2 min. Once soft, add the the lot to the dal. Season with salt.
Warm the chapatis in the microwave for 1-3 min until hot. Serve the dal with the chapatis alongside.

Thoroughly rinse the rice and lentils first, thereby removing as much starch as possible. Rinse them once, twice or even thrice. Time permitting, soak them for 30 min before rinsing them a final time.
