Notes

You can add more oil to the recipe, and can also add cream/ coconut milk if you prefer.
You can add any number of vegetables, more vegetables meaning more flavorful.
You can also add any other spices too, I have used Indian spices but can add lemon powder, or all spices, and so on.
For a more healthier options you can have it with Brown Rice but goes great with White Rice or any Indian Flatbread too.
You can make this recipe using any Lentils you have in hand, I have made using Channa Dal (Split Chickpea Lentils)
This is a Vegan & Vegetarian Lentils Curry, but you can experiment with adding other ingredients to the dish too.
I have made this recipe using my Instant Pot 6QT Duo60 &-in-1 Multi-Cooker.
