Creamy lentils (Dal makhani) from Indian Instant Pot Cookbook: Traditional Indian Dishes Made Easy & Fast (page 50) by Urvashi Pitre

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 non-dairy milk of your choice for half and half cream.

    In the end, the flavors weren't what I was looking for exactly - too cumin forward, I think - but it's certainly not bad at all, especially given the work I put in.

    Very good. Mashing up some of the dal is a key step - don't skip it. Came out perfect.

    I tried this in my stovetop PC and the lentils burned to the bottom of the pot - a big mess. The next day I made it in my Instant Pot and it came out perfectly.

    If anything my result was too wet, but it was still delicious. I did, however, use Dal Makhani Masala seasoning from a local Indian grocery store (1 Tbsp). It's ingredient list was far more interesting than the recipe's. Will definitely be making this again, with slightly less water.

    Not enough water called for! What a mess.
