If using an Instant Pot instead of Pressure cooker, about how many minutes would you set it for?
15min after using the sautee feature for all ingredients up to and including step 6.
Thank you! I really enjoy combing through and grabbing recipes. Many are ingredients that are in most pantry’s, plus most are easy one pot dishes, low calorie and little if no oil. I have one of your cookbooks and am buying another. Blessings to you and yours
I didn’t burn the garlic because I don’t like burnt garlic, but with everything else this was a very yummy dal!
You can cook it over low heat until lightly brown. that will be a nice toasted flavor and not bitter burn
