Dal Tadka

Description

Dal Tadka is a popular and comforting Indian dish made with yellow lentils (typically toor dal or moong dal) cooked until soft and then seasoned with a flavorful tempering (tadka) of ghee (clarified butter), cumin seeds, garlic, ginger, green chilies, and aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, and garam masala.

The tempering is added to the cooked dal to infuse it with a rich, savory flavor. It’s typically served with steamed rice or roti, making it a staple in many Indian households. Simple, nutritious, and packed with flavor, it’s a satisfying meal for any time of day!
