Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute any split dal for chana dal.

    Surprisingly tasty! My chana dal was not fully cooked after 6 minutes. It needed another 5 minutes under pressure and natural release. I used less water at the end to make more of a stew that we had with naan bread.

    My (unsoaked) chana dal was not fully cooked after 6 minutes. Next time, I would not add the full 3/4 cup water to the spice/onion/dal mix - it was a little soupier and more diluted than I would have liked.

    Pretty tasty. Instant pot only used to cook the dal so not quite as "one pot" simple as some IP recipes.
