About Turka dal

Turka Dal is a flavorful Indian lentil dish known for its rich spices and aromatic tempering, typically prepared with yellow lentils such as toor dal or moong dal. This dish is rooted in Indian cuisine and features a variety of bold seasonings like cumin, garlic, turmeric, and chili, along with tangy tomatoes and fresh cilantro. Turka refers to the aromatic ghee or oil-based tempering poured over cooked lentils to enhance their taste. Packed with plant-based protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like iron and folate, Turka Dal supports digestion and energy regulation. Lentils are naturally low in fat, making it heart-healthy, but tempering with excess ghee or oil may add saturated fat. Pairing Turka Dal with whole grains can provide a balanced and nutritious meal. Suitable for vegetarians, it's a versatile dish that can be customized to dietary preferences while delivering robust flavors.
