Tips for Cooking Perfect Lentils (No Stickiness!):
1. Rinse Well: Always rinse lentils thoroughly under running water to remove excess starch, which can cause stickiness.
2. Soak Before Cooking: Soaking for 1-2 hours helps lentils cook evenly and reduces the chance of them turning mushy.
3. Use the Right Water Ratio: Add just enough water so the lentils absorb it completely, typically a 1:1 ratio works well for whole lentils.
4. Don’t Overcook: Lentils cook quickly, so keep an eye on the time. Pressure cooking for 2 minutes with natural pressure release (NPR) for 7-8 minutes gives the best results.
5. Cool Properly: Once cooked, spread them out on a plate to cool. This prevents overcooking from residual heat and keeps them separate...
