Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Bring 1 1/4 cups water (dbl for 4 ppl) to a boil in a medium pot. Add rice to the pot of boiling water. Reduce heat to low. Cook, still covered, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min.
While rice cooks, drain and rinse lentils. Roughly chop cilantro and spinach. Peel, then mince or grate ginger and garlic.
Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then mirepoix. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5-6 min. Add the garlic, ginger and tadka masala. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1-2 min. Season with salt and pepper.
Stir in lentils, mango chutney, coconut milk, broth concentrates and 1 1/2 cups water (dbl for 4 ppl). Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 6-8 min.
Remove stew from the heat. Using a masher, roughly mash stew. (NOTE: It's ok if it's not fully mashed!) Add spinach and stir, until wilted, 1-2 min. Season with salt and pepper.
Fluff the rice with a fork. Season with salt. Divide rice between bowls. Top with Mulligatawny stew. Sprinkle over cilantro and chana dal.
