The EASIEST Red Lentil Dhal in the Instant Pot – One Stock Cube Trick!

This is the easiest red lentil dhal you will ever make — no long prep, no complicated steps. Just dump everything into the Instant Pot, add one unexpected ingredient (a chicken or veg stock cube), pressure cook… then finish with a sizzling onion temper for restaurant-level flavour. This method comes straight from a viewer comment, and honestly? It’s genius. The red lentils turn buttery soft, the spices bloom inside the pot, and the stock cube adds that deep savoury backbone you usually only get from long, slow cooking. 👇 RECIPE BELOW Friends, if you liked the video, you can help the channel: ❤️SHARE this video with your friends on social networks. ❤️RATE the video!
