Just slow cook it! When I make dal, I simmer it on the stove for about an hour. Keeps me from watching too much TV.

Hot take: You don鈥檛 need a pressure cooker at all. A big ol' pot and some patience work just as well.
No pressure cooker? No problem! Just use a regular pot and cook on low heat. It might take longer, but you鈥檒l still get delicious results.
Use a Dutch oven or a heavy-bottomed pot instead. They鈥檙e perfect for slow cooking and getting all those flavors to meld together.
I鈥檝e been cooking Indian food without a pressure cooker for years. Lower the heat and monitor the water levels, and you鈥檙e good to go!
