Chop a red onion finely and set aside.
Chop two medium to large Roma tomatoes finely and set aside.
Chop a serrano pepper finely, removing seeds for less heat if desired, and set aside.
Turn the Instant Pot to sauté mode on high and add cumin seeds and chopped onions; sauté for about 4 to 5 minutes.
If the mixture starts to stick, add a little hot water or vegetable broth to prevent burning.
Add chopped serrano pepper and chopped tomatoes to the pot; stir to combine.
Add a couple tablespoons of ginger garlic paste and sauté for about 5 minutes until the tomatoes are soft.
Add soaked and rinsed black lentils and split chickpea lentils to the pot; mix everything together.
Add spices: cumin powder, garam masala, turmeric, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt; mix well and sauté for a few minutes.
Add about 1.5 to 2 cups of water, or enough to cover the lentils by about an inch.
Seal the Instant Pot and cook on high pressure for 40 minutes, followed by natural release.
After cooking, whisk everything together to achieve a creamy consistency.
