Indian Spiced Black Beluga Lentils

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup lentils see recipe notes for details on varieties
  • 1 3/4 cup water or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Other seasonings as desired bay leaves, fresh or dried herbs, whole spices, chopped onions, garlic cloves, etc.

Method
 

  1. Add the lentils and water or broth to the inner pot of the Instant Pot. Add salt, pepper, and any other seasonings of choice. Stir to combine.

  5. Store cooked lentils in an airtight container in the fridge for 5-7 days, or freeze for 4-6 months.
