Notes
- To reduce spice, skip the green chili.
- I did not soak the dal in this recipe. If you soak for 3-4 hours, reduce cooking time to 10 minutes.
- This recipe can be doubled with no change in cooking time.
- Vegan variation: Use oil when tempering in step 1.
- This recipe was created in a 6qt Instant Pot DUO60 Multi-use Pressure Cooker.
