Rajma, or kidney bean dal, is a popular stew in North India. The kidney beans are cooked for hours to create a thick sauce that becomes fragrant with Indian spices. This Instant Pot Kidney Bean Dal recipe gets it done in your trusty multicooker. To complement the robust flavors with a burst of tangy freshness, top your dal with a sprinkle of chopped onion, tomato, and cilantro just before serving. Note that this recipe calls for hot cooked brown rice, so be sure to have that ready to go.
