This recipe
of dal tadka is that we make everyday at home. The generous use of ghee
(clarified butter) make it a real tasty. Dal tadka and dal fry are two
different dal preparations that we find in restaurant. For dal tadka a tarka of
cumin & rapeseed with dry red chili is prepared separately and poured on
top of dal. But in dal fry they don’t do that.
This dal preparation goes really well
with jeera rice,
steamed rice or any kind of pulao.
