    This turned out excellent, thanks so much for sharing! As was recommended by Lenny, I did add a couple teaspoons of smoked salt to the mixture before pressure cooking. Served over brown rice and seasoned with Uncle Steveโ€™s Shake. Fabulous!

      I also wanted to mention that I used Chana Dal (not Masoor red lentils specifically). When you go to the Indian grocery store (Pan-Asian, in my case), there are SO many lentil/Dal variationsโ€ฆ

      I soaked the Dal for 5 hours, and for those that have a Ninja Foodi instead of an Instant Pot, pressure cooking for 21 minutes on HI did perfectly fine (thereโ€™s no Bean setting on the Foodi).

    Wednesday nights are Dada-makes-dinner night. And instead of making ol’ faithful “Dada Pasta” (spaghetti with broccoli and garlic), I made this recipe.
    It was so, so good.
    Except there was one problem: I made it way too spicy for everyone but me, even after mixing in some homemade cashew cream.
    Here’s me having to eat everyone’s. Doh! ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ https://mailchi.mp/lifeisnoyoke/nl-2021-11-23v2-1624554
    I’ve since adjusted the recommended quantity of chili peppers from 2-6 to 0-3. And lesson learned: Less heat = more happy. You can always make it spicier.
