PRESSURE COOKER: in a pressure cooker, add the meat, spices and 2 cups of water and cook for 20 minutes according to your cooker instructions. Carefully release the steam, and add the lentils and garlic and ginger to the cooker and ½ cup more water. Pressure cook for another 15 minutes.
Release the pressure and check to see if meat and lentils are tender.
Remove the cover and cook until almost dry, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
