Ingredients

Instructions

  • Set the Instant Pot to the Saute setting and heat the oil. When oil is hot, add onions and saute until browned and slightly crispy, about 10 minutes.
  • Add garlic, ginger, tomatoes and spices. Stir to combine and cook another 5 minutes. Add 3 cups of water, the lamb and lentils and stir again. Close and seal the pressure cooker lid, Change to the Meat/Stew setting and adjust time to 25 minutes, or manually set it to cook for 25 minutes at high pressure.
  • When cook time is up, perform a quick release of pressure and open the pot. Remove and discard the cinnamon stick. Stir the stew to combine, then taste and season with salt if needed (See Note 2).
  • Garnish with chopped cilantro, mint, and lemon slices (optional). Serve hot with steamed rice and warm naan.

Notes

  1. Red lentils may be substituted for the split chickpea lentils.
  2. If stew is too thick, thin with milk or water to desired consistency.
