About Daal tadka

Daal Tadka is a flavorful and nutritious dish from Indian cuisine, featuring lentils cooked until tender and then tempered with a mix of spices sautéed in ghee or oil. Common ingredients include yellow lentils (toor or moong dal), garlic, ginger, onions, tomatoes, cumin, mustard seeds, turmeric, and chili. Packed with plant-based protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, this dish supports digestion, heart health, and energy levels. Lentils are naturally low in fat and cholesterol-free, making the dish a wholesome staple. However, the use of ghee or excessive oil in the tempering can add saturated fats, so opting for moderation or healthier oils can make it lighter. Daal Tadka pairs well with steamed rice or flatbreads, making it a comforting and balanced meal option that embodies the hearty, aromatic essence of Indian home cooking.
