Description
Dal Tadka is a classic North Indian lentil dish made with toor dal (pigeon peas) or a mix of lentils, cooked until soft and tempered with aromatic spices. The dish is infused with a rich, smoky flavor from a sizzling tempering (tadka) of ghee, cumin, garlic, dried red chilies, and mustard seeds.
With its creamy texture and balanced spices, Dal Tadka pairs perfectly with steamed rice, jeera rice, or Indian breads like roti and naan, making it a comforting and wholesome meal.
