Vegan InstantPot Chickpea Lentil Dal

This recipe is a family favourite. The parsley-raisin chutney to go with, is a must, gives it a sweet twist. I wanted to create a simple and healthy meal. All the recipes I used to make this delicious looking dish are linked below.

Equipment

  • InstantPot
  • Cutting Board
  • Knife

Ingredients
  

  • 2 med. Yellow Onions (sliced into thin strips)
  • 2 heads Garlic
  • 1 2" piece Ginger (peeled and diced)
  • 2 Tablespoon Curry Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
  • 6 cups Water
  • 2 cups Dried Chickpeas
  • 1 Vegetable Cube
  • 1 1/2 cups Dried Red Lentils (rinsed and drained)

Instructions
 

  • Use the sauté functions to cook the onions with the oil. After the onions are golden brown (5 mins) throw in the ginger and garlic and cook for another minute.
  • Add the seasoning to the sautéed veggies and mix well. Pour in the water and throw in your remaining ingredients. Stir to combine.
  • Set the InstantPot to pressure cook on medium, high for 35 minutes.
  • You can also make some homemade naan and parsley-raisin chutney to serve, while your waiting. I've left you links down below to both these delicious recipes.
  • Once the time is up, release pressure and serve hot with the naan and chutney. (We also enjoy basmati rice too if you don't have naan.)
  • ENJOY!!
