Another Sri Lankan here to say this is definitely not. For authentic Sri Lankan dhal boil red lentils with chopped green chillies, red onion, ginger (optional) and garlic in coconut milk with turmeric until cooked. Add a dash of lime juice and salt to taste. Separately sauté thinly sliced onion until golden/slightly brown in coconut oil, add mustard seeds, curry leaves, whole dried red chili and rampé leaves. When everything is toasted and fragrant, add to dhal. Spinach can be added to this too.
