Wash lentils until the water runs clear. Soak them in one cup of filtered water for at least 1 hour. Drain the water.
Set the lentils in Instant Pot (IP) and cook for 25 minutes on high pressure. Remove, mash well with spatula and set aside.
Dry out pan, set IP to 'sauté' mode, add ghee. When the 'hot' sign shows up, add tempering ingredients (garlic, mustard and cumin seeds) and sauté till garlic turns brown.
