Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 cups dill
  • ¼ cup moong dal
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 Tbsp ghee or oil
  • 6 cloves garlic sliced
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • tsp hing
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions

  • Rinse and soak the moong dal for 10 minutes.
  • Set the Instant Pot to saute mode. Add ghee and allow it to get hot. Make a vaghar by adding hing, let it sizzle for a few seconds, then add garlic, turmeric, and black pepper. Cook the garlic until it begins to brown around the edges.
  • Add dal and water. Cook for 5 minutes under high pressure, followed by quick release. Stir and test the dal. It should mash easily against the back of a spoon.
  • Set the Instant Pot back to saute mode and add dill. Saute until the dill is soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

Notes

To cook on the stovetop, boil the moong dal for 10 minutes or until tender. Do not overcook the moong. It should not become soft and creamy as it would if making dal. Cook everything else the same way as above, but in a skillet or nonstick pan. You may have to increase the amount of water to about 3/4 cup. Add more if it starts to dry out before it is cooked.
