Recipe Notes
Chef's Notes
Use a mix of toor dal and moong dal for a richer flavour and creamier texture.
Adjust the amount of Vijaya Red Chilli Powder according to your preferred spice level.
Add hot water if the dal becomes too thick while simmering.
Finish with a spoonful of ghee for authentic restaurant-style taste.
Recipe Tips
Prepare the tempering (tadka) just before serving and pour it over the hot dal for maximum aroma and flavour. Fresh coriander and a squeeze of lemon enhance the taste beautifully.
Storage Instructions
Store leftover Dal Tadka in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat over low heat with a splash of water to restore its consistency. Do not leave cooked dal at room temperature for extended periods.
