DAL MAKHANI (INDIAN LENTILS)
Ever go to an Indian restaurant and wonder how they make those lentils? I hated lentils before I discovered Indian food. Then I scoured the internet to figure out how they achieved them, and through mixing and matching recipes and methods on videos, I've arrived at this recipe, which I think is pretty close. This version is very rich, but you can leave out the cream to make it lighter. Kasuri methi (fenugreek leaves) is almost impossible to find in the U.S., even in NYC, but it gives this dish something very special.

GARLICKY DAL (SAVORY LENTILS)
From Recipes with a Spice - Indian Cuisine for Balanced Nutrition' by Kusum Gupta This dal is the perfect accompaniment to spicy vegetables, bread and rice. Use any kind of lentils. One of the favorites is a mix of split green & yellow Mung and split reddish Masoor. When cooked, dry dal becomes almost 4 times in volume. Serve it hot when well mixed and of semi-liquid consistency. It can be refrigerated or frozen.

- Place the lentils in the instant pot along with the water. Grab 2 cloves of garlic and give them a smash with the knife and chop into medium pieces and add them in to the pressure cooker along with ¼ teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Cover with lid, press the bean/chili button and adjust time for 15-18 minutes.
- While the lentils are cooking, thinly slice the remaining 4 cloves of garlic and the onions. When the lentils are cooked, allow them to release the steam naturally, or to make this meal quicker, turn the knob to the 'venting' setting.
- Heat the ghee in a small skillet. Add the onions and let them cook for 3-4 minutes over medium heat stirring so the onions start to brown evenly. Add the sliced garlic, cumin seeds, and another ½ -¾ teaspoon red pepper flakes. Continue to stir the oil and cook for another 2-4 minutes or until the onions start to just brown and the garlic is fragrant and deepens in color a bit. Pour the hot ghee/oil along with the onions and garlic mixture into the dal. Stir to combine. Season with the salt. Stir and adjust salt to taste. Serve warm over basmati rice and a quick onion and tomato salad (recipe in notes)

- Rinse the lentils well until the water is clear and drain in colander. Tip: If using other yellow lentils instead of red lentils, then soaking in water for about an hour will help.
- In a medium cooking pot take the drained red lentils, chopped onions, chopped tomatoes, sliced garlic, turmeric, water and bring it to a boil.
- Lower the heat and cook it for about 30 minutes. Add salt to taste and continue to cook until most lentils start breaking down, become a bit mushy and turn into a thick sauce like consistency.
- Cook the dal until it reaches a consistency that is thinner than what is desired, because it will thicken further after cooking.
