| 1. Add lentils, water, cinnamon, cardamom pods, garlic, turmeric, cayenne pepper, and salt in a pressure cooker. | 2. Secure lid and cook over high heat until the regulator indicates high pressure, then cook 30 seconds more. | 3. Remove from heat and allow the pot to depressurize on its own, 12-15 minutes. | 4. Carefully open lid and check to see if beans are very soft and some of them are broken; if not, cover and bring up to high pressure again, and cook another 30 seconds--or cover and boil until soft, about 30 minutes more. | 5. Remove to a serving dish, cover, and keep warm. | 6. Heat oil in a nonstick saucepan over med-high heat and add the cumin seeds; they should sizzle upon contact with the hot oil. | 7. Quickly add the onion and cook, stirring, until golden; about 3 minutes. | 8. Add in ginger and green chili pepper; cook about 1 minute, then add the coriander, cumin, and paprika and stir a few seconds. | 9. Transfer to the dal and swirl lightly to mix, with parts of it visible as garnish. | 10. Sprinkle the garam masala on top and serve. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
