Instructions
- Add lentils to a bowl, wash, and soak your lentils for at least 30 minutes.
- Slice your onion and tomato.
- Add 1/3 cup of oil to a pressure cooker. Now add sliced onions, and cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Add ginger, garlic, tomatoes, and the rest of the spices.
- Mix everything and add the meat of your choice. Cook gosht and masala for about 4-5 minutes.
- Discard water from soaked lentils, and add lentil/dal and two cups of water to the pressure cooker.
- Pressure cook for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes release the pressure before opening the lid.
- If the lentil/dal is too thick, add more water to adjust the consistency. I have added about 1/2 cup to adjust it to my liking after releasing the pressure.

Notes
I used a total of 3 cups of water for this recipe. Water and cooking time will be different depending upon the meat of your choice and the cooking method. Instant pot usually takes the same amount of water as a pressure cooker which takes about 20-25 minutes.
