Chef's Notes

I have prepared this dish in my electric pressure cooker, Instant Pot DUO60 6 QT

Tips

Fresh & Tender Moringa: Choose tender and fresh drumstick leaves.
Soft Mushy Dal: If you desire a softer, more mashed consistency, you can Pressure Cook on "HIGH" for 8 minutes on the Instant Pot.





Variations

Add Vegetables: You can add veggies like pumpkins, potatoes, carrots, and green beans to make it extra nutritious.
Use Different Lentils: You can use various types of lentils, including toor dal, masoor dal, or a mixture of toor, masoor, and moong dal.
Moringa Leaves Sambar: If you are a South Indian and wish to make sambar with drumstick leaves, follow the same steps. Instead of the dry spices listed, add 1.5 tablespoons of sambar powder and tamarind extract instead of lemon juice.
Make it Spicy: Add additional green chilies or red chili powder to make the dal spicier.
