If you want a lentil soup that will quickly become a treasured recipe, I propose giving it a try.

This recipe skips the step of sautéing onions, or tomatoes. In fact, it doesn’t use onions or tomatoes. The trick is to add the lentils with the spices and pressure cook it so you get all the benefits of the extra taste without having to sacrifice texture.

What lentils do I need to make Instant Pot Kashmiri Dal – Moong Dal?


Split mung beans, also known as split green moong dal, or split green gram. These green lentils have been split but not skinned. They are available in Indian grocery stores or on amazon.

Absolutely not! Unlike other dried lentils or beans, these can be safely cooked without soaking.

What ingredients do I need to make this recipe?

Split green moong dal, water, cloves, salt, asafoetida, ground fennel, ground ginger, ground turmeric, ground cumin, ghee, milk and Serrano peppers.

And an Instant Pot of course!

How long does this keep in the refrigerator?

For about 2 to 3 days. It may get thick in the refrigerator. In that case, you can add some hot water {a few tablespoons }depending on the consistency your desire. It freezes well.

Notes

This recipe is not spicy. If you like it to be spicy you can slit the Serrano peppers into 2 halves lengthwise before adding them to the lentils. That would increase the spice levels to 4 out of 5, 1 being the lowest and 5 being the highest in terms of heat.
If you don’t like Serrano peppers you can completely eliminate them.
