Daal Tadka

Dal Tadka is a quintessential Indian dish featuring cooked lentils, typically yellow or red, seasoned with a spiced tempering. The tempering involves frying cumin, mustard seeds, red chilies, and aromatic elements in hot oil or ghee, creating a flavorful infusion. This fragrant mixture is then drizzled over the lentils, resulting in a satisfying dish that’s often served with rice or bread. Dal Tadka’s combination of tender lentils and aromatic spices makes it a beloved comfort food in Indian cuisine.
