Instant Pot Dal Tadka

This turned out really good.  I had heard of Dal from friends of mine but never made one.  My sister-in-law made a fantastic one and said she was going to give me the recipe but haven't gotten around to. 

I got this from Caitlin Shoemaker's blog.  It is not her own, as she collaborated on this with Nisha Vota (the link is in Caitlin's blog).  I am always on the lookout for Instant Pot vegan recipes and when I saw this I knew I had to try it.  I am so glad I did.

I made a few changes mostly because I didn't have the ingredient.  I didn't use the serrano pepper but simply used chili flakes.  It was still quite spicy, but not overly so. I also didn't have curry leaves as I forgot to look for them on the last grocery trip. Finally, the recipe calls for black mustard seeds.  I didn't have them either, but had regular mustard seeds.  But otherwise it turned out great.

Generally it was a simple, easy recipe and was very good as a leftover.
