Lentil Dahl with Multicooker

Lentil Dahl with Multicooker this time not an Italian Recipe with instant pot but an oriental recipe. As you know, I am a lover of exotic recipes, I like them because they are often Vegetarian Recipes and therefore perfectly suit my lifestyle.

Moreover, lentils, like other legumes, are inexpensive ingredients with excellent nutritional properties that are very filling, so why not use them in our cuisine?

After cooking the Lentil Dahl in jar I decided to test it in the multicooker and propose it to you because I find it a really delicious recipe!

Serve it with Pilaf Rice in the multicooker for a unique and well-balanced dish!
