Instructions

  1. Rinse the black gram and red kidney beans, then soak them in water (3 cups) overnight or for 6 to 8 hours. Drain and set the beans aside.
  2. Set the Instant Pot to sauté and heat the oil. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle, then add the onions and stir well.
  3. Add the ginger, garlic, turmeric, red chili powder, salt, tomatoes and beans, then add the water and stir well.
  4. Optional: put the rice, water and salt in a stainless steel container, set a tall trivet over the beans and place the container on the trivet.
  5. Seal the pot with the pressure valve closed. Pressure cook on high for 30 minutes, then allow a natural pressure release.
  6. Open the pot and set it to sauté. Remove the rice container and trivet. Stir in the cream and garam masala, then garnish with cilantro and dried fenugreek leaves.
