About Tadka daal

Tadka Daal is a flavorful Indian dish made from lentils, typically red, yellow, or mung, cooked with a blend of aromatic spices. Originating from South Asian cuisine, this comforting staple is elevated by a "tadka" (tempering) of mustard seeds, cumin, garlic, onion, chili, and sometimes tomatoes, fried in ghee or oil and added to the daal for a smoky, rich taste. Lentils are a great source of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like iron, folate, and magnesium, making Tadka Daal a heart-healthy option that supports digestion and energy levels. However, traditional preparations often use ghee, which can be high in saturated fat. Opting for olive oil or using ghee sparingly can make this dish lighter. Enjoy it with rice or flatbread for a nutritious and satisfying meal.
