Easy Red Lentil Recipes Indian Style - Red Lentil Curry Dahl - Masoor Dal Recipe
Lentils commonly known as dal in India is a staple food used as side with rice or roti. For me dahl is the ultimate comfort food. There are I think countless variations for making dal depending on the region, availability of ingredients and of course family traditions. But amongst all there are 2 components that are always followed in making it - one is cooking the lentils till they are tender and two is tempering it with your choice of spices.

Pressure Cooker Method - Wash and add the lentils in your pressure cooker (regular/electric).Add 2 cups of water, turmeric powder, salt and a drop of oil (to prevent foaming). Let it come to full pressure on high heat (for regular pressure cooker), then reduce the heat to low and pressure cook for 10 minutes. If electric, set time as 10 minutes. After 10 mins let all the pressure release naturally before opening the lid.
Serve any of these dals with rice, roti or toasted bread with any vegetable curry (link given below).
