Rinse lentils thoroughly with cold water. Place washed lentils, salt, and water in an Instant Pot or Pressure Cooker and set to high for 6 to 8 minutes.

When the lentils are thick and cooked, stir in the coconut milk.

15 minutes before serving, heat the coconut oil in a saute pan set to medium and add the onions and garlic. Cook until fragrant.

Add the remaining spices and tomatoes and cook for 5-10 minutes or until the sauces is thoroughly combined. Add to the lentil and coconut mixture.

Top with cilantro and serve over rice or on it’s own.
