Basic Lentil Dahl

This is a pressure cooker recipe and a super fast meal that can be completed in 20 minutes

Ingredients 1 tbsp oil 1 medium to large chopped onion 3 cups water 1 cup lentils half a teaspoon of coriander half a tablespoon of curry powder fresh ginger about a tablespoon fresh garlic crushed about 3 cloves half teaspoon of salt

Chop the onions medium sautee and oil in pressure cooker when they start to Brown add chopped ginger and garlic perhaps adding a bit more oil but do not Brown These.  Throw all the spices on top of the sauteing vegetables keep them on a heat and brown then add the water the beans and bring them up to pressure 5-7 minutes and then just turn off the heat and let them sit until the pressure is down which will be another 10 minutes or so they will be cooking this whole time.

You can talk perhaps a cup of greens such as Swiss chard pretty finebut add it to the pot when it's done put the lid back on and let it wilt. You can turn the heat on but be careful to not scorch the bottom of pot. This will create a chewy green rather than a well-cooked one and you should experiment with the quantity of green. More is better


This recipe can be quadrupled in this pot but I doubt that this pot would do much more without being overloaded which causes issues with the cooker
