About Tarka daal
Tarka Daal is a classic dish from Indian cuisine, made primarily from split lentils, typically red or yellow, cooked to a creamy consistency and flavored with a mixture of spices. The name "Tarka" refers to the aromatic tempering of spices in oil or ghee, often including cumin, mustard seeds, garlic, ginger, and chilies, which is poured over the daal for added depth and flavor. Lentils are a rich source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential nutrients like iron, folate, and magnesium, making this a nutritious choice. The use of spices such as turmeric and garlic adds potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits. While Tarka Daal is generally healthy, additions like ghee or excess oil can increase its calorie and fat content. For a lighter version, opt for minimal oil and pair it with a whole-grain option like brown rice or chapati for a balanced meal.
