Lock lid. Select Pressure Cook (Manual) for 8 minutes on High Pressure. Allow 10 minutes Natural Pressure Release, then manually release remaining pressure. Open lid, stir, and lightly mash dal with a spoon for a creamy texture. Add more water if needed. Step 3: Prepare the Tadka (Tempering) In a small pan, heat 1 tsp oil or ghee. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Add cumin seeds, crushed garlic, broken red chili, curry leaves, and hing. Sauté until garlic turns golden and fragrant (30–45 sec).
