I never really liked lentils. Possibly because I never had them cooked well. This is really a really delicious version of Indian Dal! Also, I really don't know if you spell it dal, daal, or dahl, but I'm not sure there is a correct translation to English.

Put lid on the instant pot and set on pressure cook high 12 minutes. Natural release at least 10 minutes (Longer release = creamier).
Add salt & pepper to taste.
