The Sikh temples around the globe serve food, all seven days, to everyone who walks through those temple doors. It is a very humble gesture and the sevadars (workers at the temple) serve very lovingly. This dish is one of the many items that is made at the Gurudwaras. I have used the Green split lentils which is low in calories and an excellent source of protein.

- Add the washed lentils to the mix with water.The ratio being 1:4 so you would add four times the water. Close the lid and turn the mode to pressure cook for 10 minutes.
