Dal Tadka

Description

Dal Tadka is a comforting Indian dish made by tempering cooked lentils with aromatic spices. A staple in Indian homes and restaurants alike, this dish is both nutritious and delicious.

The dal, often a mix of toor and moong lentils, is boiled until creamy and then finished with a sizzling tempering of ghee, cumin seeds, garlic, and red chilies. This “tadka” gives the dish its signature flavor and smoky aroma.

Served with basmati rice or roti, Dal Tadka is a perfect balance of simplicity and taste, making it a favorite for vegetarians and health-conscious diners.
