  3. Once onion becomes translucent, add in the grated tomato, chilli powder, turmeric powder, cumin, coriander powder and salt to taste. Stir and add in the water. Close pressure cooker and change setting to tendon which will cook for 30 minutes.

  4. Once stopped, release pressure and open cooker then add in the washed lentils, carrots and coconut milk. Submerge in liquid and cook for a further 30 minutes on the same setting.

  5. Once it stops, lentils should be soft and meat very tender. If not allow to cook for a further 15 to 30 minutes ensuring that there is sufficient liquid in the pot. Note to not add too much liquid.

  6. Once ready, serve on a bed of mash, cous cous or rice as per preference. Note I served on a bed of coconut rice with a side of salad and a squeeze of lemon over the shank. Enjoy!
