Steps to make Black lentil:

- Add tomatoes, salt to taste, red chili powder to taste and turmeric
- Sauté all for 5 mins.
- Add the soaked lentil and 5 cups of water
- Change the instant pot to pressure cook mode. I have a diff brand so in mine I set it to full pressure for 10 mins. You cAn start with this setting and if lentil is still hard then you will have to pressure cook it for some more time. If you are using traditional pressure cooker then pressure cook it for about 25 mins.
- After the pressure is done you can add water if the lentil is too thick and give a quick boil. If it’s too thin then just boil to reduce.
