About Dal tadka

Dal Tadka is a classic dish from Indian cuisine, cherished for its rich, comforting flavors and high nutritional value. Made primarily from yellow lentils (typically toor dal or split pigeon peas), it is cooked with a blend of aromatic spices such as turmeric, cumin, and coriander, and topped with a tempering of ghee or oil infused with garlic, mustard seeds, and dried red chilies. Packed with protein, fiber, and essential vitamins, Dal Tadka supports digestive health, promotes satiety, and provides a steady source of energy. While lentils are a low-fat, heart-healthy ingredient, the addition of ghee may contribute to higher saturated fat content. For a lighter alternative, olive oil can substitute ghee without compromising flavor. Dal Tadka is often served with steamed rice or Indian breads, making it a wholesome and nutritious choice for balanced meals.
