         Yield: 6 Servings   
       
         1 oz Fresh tamarind   
         1 c  Yellow moong daal   
              - (yellow lentils);   
              - rinsed well, preferably   
              - soaked overnight   
         1 tb Garlic; crushed   
       3/4 ts Salt; or to taste   
         1 ts Red chili powder   
       1/2 ts Turmeric powder   
         2 tb Neutral oil   
         9    Dried red chiles   
       1/2 ts Cumin seeds   
        15    Kadi pata (optional)   
       
     Cooking time: 15 minutes   
        
     A gorgeous tangy khatti daal recipe that has been adapted for the   
     Instant Pot. It get its vibrant flavor from tamarind and kadi pata.   
        
     Instant Pot:   
        
     Place tamarind in a heat-proof bowl and add 1 cup of hot water. Set   
     aside.   
        
     Add lentils, crushed garlic, salt, red chili, turmeric powder, and 3   
     cups water to the Instant Pot. Turn Instant Pot on. Close the lid and   
     move the steam valve to sealing. On manual setting, set the cooking   
     time to 10 minutes at high pressure.   
        
     While the daal is cooking, begin to squeeze the tamarind pulp well   
     separating the paste from the fibers. When the pulp is fully   
     separated from the seeds, strain the tamarind water into a clean bowl.   
        
     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.   
     Add the tamarind water to the daal and stir till well-mixed. Turn   
     Instant Pot off.   
        
     Place the daal in serving bowl and begin to get the tadka ready. In a   
     small frying pan, add oil and heat until it begins to shimmer. Add   
     the dried red chilies and fry for a few seconds. Add cumin seeds and   
     fry for 30 seconds or less until they begin to change color. Add kadi   
     pata and fry for a few seconds until aromatic. Remove from heat and   
     pour tadka over the daal. Serve with plain long-grain rice.   
        
     Stove Top:   
        
     Place tamarind in a heatproof bowl and add 1 cup of hot water. Set   
     aside.   
        
     Add lentils, crushed garlic, salt, red chili and turmeric powder and   
     4 cups water to a medium-sized stockpot. Bring to boil, lower heat   
     and cover with a tight-fitting lid.   
        
     Stir the daal occasionally to make sure it's not sticking to the pot.   
     It will depend on the type of pot you are using.   
        
     While the daal is cooking, begin to squeeze the tamarind pulp well   
     separating the paste from the fibers. When the pulp is fully   
     separated from the seeds, strain the tamarind water into a clean bowl.   
        
     After about 35 to 40 minutes, remove cover and check daal for   
     doneness.   
        
     If the daal is soft, use the back of a wooden spoon, to press the daal   
     against the pot to give it an even consistency.   
        
     Add the strained tamarind water to the pot, stir and bring to a   
     simmer.   
        
     Remove from heat after 5 minutes and begin to get the tadka ready. In   
     a small frying pan, add oil and heat until it begins to shimmer. Add   
     the dried red chilies and fry for a few seconds. Add cumin seeds and   
     fry for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add kadi pata and fry for a few   
     seconds. Remove from heat and pour tadka over the daal. Serve with   
     plain long-grain rice.
