Wash the split peas and soak for 20 minutes. Drain and place in a saucepan with 500ml water, cook for 20 minutes.
Sautee the garlic, ginger, chilli and bay leaf in a little oil for two minutes. Add the cumin, chilli powder and turmeric and stir well. Add the tomato and continue to stir for a further two minutes. Add this mixture to the dal. Bring to the boil and cook until the grains are soft but retain some shape (about 1 hour). Add the coriander and serve.
