How to cook dal in Instant Pot

Take toor dal in a bowl. Pin Add water to it, rinse it well atleast 2-3 times. Pin Drain water .Pin Now add water to it.I transferred to my cooker stacking bowl. Pin Add turmeric powder and a few drops of oil. Pin Keep covered. Pin Place the trivet inside the inner pot.Pour 1 cup water to it. Pin Place the bowl inside on the trivet. Pin Now close with lid. Pin Inititally the steel button is down. Pin Press the bean / chilli mode. Pin Keep pressure level low. Pin Now the instant pot has started.It takes few mins to change from ON to timer(in bean mode its 20 mins) and only when then the timer is shown the actual cooking time starts. Pin Inititally the steel knob is down and when it starts to cook it automatically goes up as shown.When the knob is up it means cooking is in process/started and when its down pressure is released and you are ready to open the lid.Do not open the lid when the knob is up. Pin Bean / chilli mode automatically sets temperature to 20 mins.The timer is shown so the actual cooking time starts only.You can either change this 20 mins or leave it as such.Make it 25 mins if its for sambar / rasam and you need nicely mushy dal.Incase if you want to use dal for kootu,dal tadka etc 20 mins will be enough. Pin 20 mins done and it gives a beep sound to indicate that its done. Pin After the time is over, it automatically goes to keep warm mode but still the steel know will be up only.Now you can either manually pressure release or naturally let it release.I usually let it release naturally, it takes from 10 mins to 30 mins depending on the water content inside.But incase if you are in a hurry, release it after 10 mins.Only when the steel button goes down(indicates that pressure is released) its ready to open so keep an eye. Incase you want to manually pressure release push ‘press’ button. Pin Open the lid. Pin Dal is cooked. Pin Mash it well and use it for your recipes. Pin Pin Cooked dal is ready to use for recipes.
