     @LinguistMarcie - yes, you can cook this without using a pressure cooker. After the daal boils cover and simmer for 20-30 minutes. You can always add more water or simmer longer to get the right consistency for you. - 9/1/09

     I've never soaked my lentils, and I don't use a pressure cooker. - 1/26/15

     Is there a way I can do this without having a pressure cooker? It looks so good, but I just don't have any experience using those cookers... - 7/1/09

     I made this and it is very good. I did use chickpea instead of the other beans, but the main ingredients were excellent. - 2/15/09
