Andrea's Dal for Instant Pot®
This variation of mixed dal was developed over a series of happy accidents and has become a household favorite. This version has more ginger and a smoother texture. It's made in the Instant Pot® and I've tried it with a variety of fats. When using coconut oil, it has sufficient flavor that I think the cilantro is unnecessary.

Cook's Notes:
Chana dal is a small variety of chickpea native to India that has been split and skinned to cook more quickly. If seeking an America/European legume to substitute for chana dal, look for something small; a standard chickpea would be too large.
You can substitute ghee or another high-heat oil for the coconut oil, if you prefer.
