Soak dals in water for about 20 minutes.
Add the soaked dals to a pressure cooker with enough water and cook until tender. Add in the vegetables, turmeric, salt and pressure cook for 4-5 whistles.
Heat the oil in a deep pan, add bay leaves, hing, dried red chilli and cumin seeds. Cook while stirring for a few minutes until fragrant.
As the mixture splatters, add in the ginger and cook for another minute before adding the lentils and veggies.
Add the Panch Phoron masala, and let it simmer on low heat until the lentils and vegetables soften.
Mash the mixture a little for a thick consistency.
Stir in the coconut and coriander.
Serve hot with steamed rice.
