Ingredients
Method
- Rinse and drain soaked whole brown lentils. Wash and thinly chop a Tomato.
- Set InstantPot on sauté mode on high heat for at least 25 minutes. Heat oil in an InstantPot and add thinly sliced onion. Cook onion until golden. Remove fried onion in a bowl and set it aside, for garnish.
- Add cumin seed in the same oil you cooked onion in the InstantPot. Once cumin starts to change color, add chopped garlic.
- Quickly add lentils, spices, ginger-garlic paste, chopped tomato, water and salt.
- Stir well. Cover the lid and pressure cook. Make sure the vent is closed, otherwise the pressure won't build.
- Cancel Sauté setting and set the InstantPot to Pressure Cook on high for 10 minutes on high pressure setting. Make sure to cancel "keep warm" setting.
- Once cooked, let it stand while pressure releases naturally.
- Garnish Masoor Daal with fried Onion, chopped Cilantro and a squeeze of lemon juice.
- Serve it with plain Rice, Naan, or Roti(Indian flatbread).
