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.
