      So easy in the Instant Pot (12 mins HP, full NR). All that ghee! It must be Kerala-influenced Tamil food :). I cut it down to about 1/3 of stated amount, even tho I love ghee and use a lot of it. The dal combo is great - the sweetness of mung dal and the texture/taste of toor dal. I added some greens to the dal. Excellent!

"Vannakkam" is a Tamil saying meaning "welcome," and that's just what this beautiful cookbook does—it welcomes you to a finer level of Indian cuisine. Kumar Mahadevan, the talented chef behind Australia's iconic restaurants Abhi's and Aki's, weaves over 100 recipes with the unique tale of his family's journey from India to Australia. A spicy blend of contemporary food and authentic cooking, From India covers seafood dishes such as rava methi machi, vegetarian sides such as gutti venkai koora, and a full lineup of traditional curries, organized according to the tastes: salty, bitter, sour, spicy, and sweet. This flavorful trip, with roots in Ayurvedic principles, will take you from the regional fare of India to the streets of Australia without ever leaving your own kitchen.
