About Dal tardka

Dal Tadka is a flavorful and nutritious lentil dish originating from Indian cuisine. This protein-rich recipe typically features red or yellow lentils (masoor or toor dal) cooked until tender and tempered with a fragrant mixture of ghee or oil, cumin seeds, garlic, ginger, onions, tomatoes, and aromatic spices like turmeric, coriander, and chili powder. It’s often garnished with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lemon juice. Packed with plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential vitamins, Dal Tadka supports digestion, heart health, and sustained energy. However, its nutritional profile can vary depending on the amount of ghee or oil used in preparation. Opting for minimal oil and pairing it with whole grains like brown rice or quinoa further enhances its health benefits. Dal Tadka is a versatile, comforting dish that can easily adapt to your dietary preferences while delivering wholesome, bold flavors.
