Ingredients

1 tablespoon Ghee or Oil
1 teaspoon Cumin seeds (Jeera)
1 Green chili pepper (optional)
1/2 cup Onions (diced)
1/2 tablespoon Garlic (minced)
1/2 tablespoon Ginger (grated)
1 cup Tomatoes (chopped)
1 cup Red lentils (Masoor Dal) (rinsed )
3 cups Water
1 tablespoon Lime juice
Cilantro (to garnish)
1/2 teaspoon Ground Turmeric (Haldi powder)
1/2 teaspoon Coriander powder (Dhaniya powder)
1/2 teaspoon Red Chili powder (Mirchi powder) (adjust to taste, I used mild Kashmiri red chili powder)
1/2 teaspoon Garam Masala (optional )
1 teaspoon Salt (adjust to taste)
1 cup Basmati Rice
1.25 cup Water
1 tablespoon Ghee or Oil
1 teaspoon Salt

Steps:

Start the pressure cooker in sauté mode and let it heat. Add oil and cumin seeds. Sauté for 30 seconds.
When the cumin seeds change color, add green chili, onions, ginger and garlic. Sauté for 3 minutes until the onions become golden brown while stirring frequently.
Add tomato and spices. Stir and sauté for another 2 minutes.
Add the lentils, water and stir well.
(For pot-in-pot rice) Place the trivet. In a bowl, add all ingredients for basmati rice and place it on top of the trivet. Close the lid with vent in sealing position.
Press cancel and close lid with vent in sealing position. Change the instant pot setting to manual or pressure cook mode at high pressure for 5 mins.
After the instant pot beeps, let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes, then release the pressure manually (5 minute NPR).
Open the pot. Add the lime juice and stir the dal.
Garnish with cilantro. Serve dal with roti, naan or rice.

Ingredients

1 cup red lentils (masoor dal or other yellow lentils)
1 onion (yellow, medium, finely chopped)
1 tomato (chopped)
3 cloves garlic (finely sliced)
3/4 tsp turmeric
4 cups water
Salt (to taste)
2.5 tbsp olive oil (or ghee)
2 tsp cumin seeds
4 dried red chilies
8 - 10 curry leaves
1.5 inch ginger (finely grated)
4 cloves garlic (finely grated)
1 shallot (medium, finely chopped (or small onion))
1 tomato (small, finely chopped)
1 green chili (optional, remove seeds for less heat)
1/4 tsp turmeric
1 tsp chili powder* (Kashmiri chili powder is less pungent)
1 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp garam masala
1 tsp kasuri methi (dry fenugreek leaves)
1/2 tsp mustard seeds (optional)
2 tsp cumin seeds
5 cloves garlic (thinly sliced)
5 dried red chilies
8 - 10 curry leaves
2 tbsp cilantro ( chopped)
1 tbsp ghee (optional)

Steps:

Rinse the lentils well until the water is clear and drain in colander. Tip: If using other yellow lentils instead of red lentils, then soaking in water for about an hour will help.
In a medium cooking pot take the drained red lentils, chopped onions, chopped tomatoes, sliced garlic, turmeric, water and bring it to a boil.
Lower the heat and cook it for about 30 minutes. Add salt to taste and continue to cook until most lentils start breaking down, become a bit mushy and turn into a thick sauce like consistency.
Cook the dal until it reaches a consistency that is thinner than what is desired, because it will thicken further after cooking.
