Garlic Dill Lentils

Step 1

Turn Instant Pot to Saute(more) mode. Once the hot sign displays add ghee or oil. Add mustard seeds and allow them to splutter. Add hing, turmeric, green chilies, garlic and curry leaves. Mix well and cook for a minute. Take out most of this tempering in a bowl and reserve.

Add lentils and chopped dill to the Instant Pot. Mix well. Add salt and water. Mix again deglazing the pot to make sure the lentils are not sticking to the pot.

Step 3

Close Instant Pot with pressure valve to sealing. Pressure cook(hi) for 4 minutes. Allow 5 minutes of natural pressure release and then carefully quick release the remaining pressure.

Step 4

Open Instant Pot and mix with an immersion blender or mash the lentils with the back of a spatula.
