The lentil (Lens culinaris or Lens esculenta) is an edible legume. It is an annual plant known for its lens-shaped seeds. Black lentils are deliciously rich and earthy, and they can take on a wide range of flavors.

- Wash and soak lentil for 30 mins
- Heat oil in instant pot sauté mode or pressure cooker, add cumin, asafoetida and copped onion and sauté till onion is translucent
- Add garlic and ginger paste and sauté for another min
- Add tomatoes, salt to taste, red chili powder to taste and turmeric
- Sauté all for 5 mins.
- Add the soaked lentil and 5 cups of water
- Change the instant pot to pressure cook mode. I have a diff brand so in mine I set it to full pressure for 10 mins. You cAn start with this setting and if lentil is still hard then you will have to pressure cook it for some more time. If you are using traditional pressure cooker then pressure cook it for about 25 mins.
- After the pressure is done you can add water if the lentil is too thick and give a quick boil. If it’s too thin then just boil to reduce.
