Though many people refer to a variety of beans as Lentils, lentils are actually small, round and flat legumes with a dark brown husk. Lentil Soup (or Masoor Daal) is hearty, homey and satisfying. Packed with protein and fiber, this Lentil Soup recipe makes a healthy and filling lunch. Pair it with rice or chapati and you have a complete dinner.

You can cook lentils without a pressure cooker…it just takes longer and may require more water. There is no exact time as it depends on how long you’ve soaked the beans and how big there are, etc. Plan for at least 45 mins to 1 hr. You can keep adding more water as needed.

Is it necessary to use a pressure cooker? If I don’t, how long do the lentils have to cook? Thanks.
