Dal Tadka
Dal Tadka
Dal Tadka is a traditional Indian dish. It can be enjoyed with Roti or with Rice- in fact it is considered such a complete, simple meal- that there is a phrase in Hindi "Dal Roti khao, Prabhu ke gun gao"; which indicates that simple dal roti (Ayurvedically balanced) meal with divine Bhakti yoga is a great way to live.

You can use mix of Toor (also called Tuvar), Split Mung and Split Masoor (black lentils)- cook them well in a pressure cooker or in a pot with lots of water. Heat some ghee (clarified butter) in a pan. You can use olive oil, if you don't have ghee. Add a pinch of asafoetida and whole mustard seeds. As these seeds begin to pop, add a few curry leaves and dried red chilies. Next add finely chopped green chilies and garlic. Fry them for a couple of minutes and add previously cooked dal. Add a pinch of turmeric and some water and bring the mix to a boil and then lower heat and let simmer for a few more minutes. Add salt to taste. Serve hot with Roti, Naan or Basmati rice. If you like, you can garnish with finely chopped cilantro for that truly exotic Asian taste!
