Rinse 1 cup chana dal (205 grams) and then add it to a pressure cooker along with 2 & ½ cups water (20 oz), ½ teaspoon turmeric and ¾ teaspoon salt.Pressure cook the dal until it's cooked and soft. On regular stove-top pressure cooker, it would take 8-10 whistles on high flame. If using an electric pressure cooker like an Instant Pot, cook on high pressure for 13 minutes. In both cases, let the pressure release naturally.
