  • STEP 1.Soak the chana dal in cold water for at-least 30 minutes. Drain, rinse and set aside. Chana dal takes a longer time to cook than lauki. Soaking it softens it and makes sure that both the dal and lauki are evenly cooked in the instant pot.
  • STEP 2.Wash Bottle Gourd, peel the skin, dee-seed and cut into 1 inch pieces. Make sure to cut the lauki into larger chunks so they keep their shape in the dal when pressure cooked.

  • STEP 4.Then add chopped onion. Saute till onions turn light brown in color.
  • STEP 5.Add tomatoes and cook till tomatoes turn soft, takes 2-3 minutes.
  • STEP 6.Then add turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, lauki, soaked lentils or dal, salt, water and give a stir. Adjust spices at this stage.
  • STEP 7.Close the Instant Pot with pressure valve to Sealing. Cook on High Pressure for 8 minutes.
  • STEP 8.Once the pot beeps, let it release the pressure naturally for 10 minutes (Wait until silver button on lid drops).
