Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select Sauté function. Heat olive oil; add onion, garlic, ginger, and cumin. Cook until tender, about 2 minutes.

02

Step
15 mins

Combine water, moong dal lentils, coriander, salt, garam masala, cayenne pepper, and turmeric in the pot. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 15 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

03

Step
40 mins

Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove lid. Stir in lemon juice and cilantro.

For a richer flavor, consider adding a dollop of coconut milk after releasing the pressure.
Adjust the cayenne pepper to your preferred level of spiciness.
If you don't have fresh cilantro, dried cilantro can be substituted, but fresh is recommended for the best flavor.
