  • 6 Cups Water

Instructions:

  • Add Jaswant’s spices
  • Put the lid on the Instant Pot, close the steam release valve and set to high pressure for 8 minutes.
  • After cooking, wait a few minutes, quick release, and allow to cool. Stir in finishing seasoning (Garam Masala). Optionally to healthify, while cooling, add some spinach or chopped kale
  • Enjoy your Daal! (The next day: if you have some leftovers that have congealed a bit, you can roll into balls, and put in an air fryer for 20-25 minutes for a nice salad addition or stand-alone food.)
