Instructions

Soak: Wash the lentils until the water runs clear. Soak them in water for at least 1 hour, then drain.
Pressure cook: Add the lentils and 1.5 cups water to the Instant Pot. Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes, then let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes. Mash the lentils well and set aside in a bowl.
Tempering: Wipe the inner pot dry. Set the Instant Pot to Sauté and add the ghee. When it shows "Hot," add the mustard seeds, cumin seeds and garlic. Cook until the garlic turns deep golden brown.
Onion and tomato: Add the onion, tomato, green chili, salt and turmeric. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until soft.
Greens: Add the mustard greens and stir until they just begin to wilt.
Simmer: Add the cooked lentils and 1 cup water. Stir and cook until it comes to a simmer. Turn off the heat.
