Urad dal or mash ki dal is an elegant side that is a perfect
complement to a sharp and saucy meat dish. Top it with a simple tadka
of fried onions, and serve it with roti or naan.

Stove Top:

Add all ingredients up until the tadka to a saucepan, and 2-1/2 cups
water. Bring to boil, and lower to simmer.

Let the dal cook uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes until the water has
mostly boiled out, and the dal is fully cooked but still retains some
moisture. Place in serving bowl.

Instant Pot:

Add all ingredients up until the tadka to the Instant Pot, and 1 cup
water to the Instant Pot. Mix well. Turn Instant Pot on.

Close the lid and move the steam valve to sealing. On manual setting,
set the cooking time to 4 minutes at high pressure.

Once the timer is up, move the steam valve to venting position to
immediately release steam. After the pressure has released, carefully
remove the lid, making sure you are not touching the metallic part.
Turn Instant Pot off.

Tadka:

In a small frying pan, heat oil, and fry onions until medium golden
brown. Pour onions with oil over the daal.

Serve hot with roti or naan.
