1. ## Pre-Cook the Lentils
   Place the rinsed green lentils and 3 cups of water into the Instant Pot inner pot. Close the lid and cook on "Pressure Cook" (High) for 12 minutes.

2. ## Pressure Release
   When the cooking time ends, immediately perform a quick pressure release (Quick Release). Drain the lentils and wipe out the inner pot.

3. ## Caramelize the Onions
   Turn on "Sauté" mode on the Instant Pot. Add the olive oil and sauté the sliced onions for about 5–7 minutes until deep golden-brown and caramelized. Stir in the cumin and black pepper.

4. ## Combine Ingredients
   Add the drained lentils, rinsed basmati rice, salt, and 1 cup of hot water into the pot. Gently mix all ingredients together.

5. ## Final Pressure Cook
   Close the lid again. Cook on "Pressure Cook" (High) for 4 minutes.

6. ## Natural Release and Fluff
   When the timer beeps, do not release the steam immediately. Allow 10 minutes of natural release (Natural Release). Then release any remaining pressure, open the lid, and fluff the rice gently with a fork.
