There are so many ways to make a dhal. The combinations of lentils and spices make every recipe unique. I love Chana dhal but always had to remember to soak it in advance. In the Instant pot you can throw this in without the presoak time and it still turns out amazing! Here are the ingredients and steps to make this recipe!

Cumin seeds | 1/2 Teaspoon | |
