Dal Tadka (Indian Restaurant-Style Dal)

Dal Tadka is a flavorful and comforting Indian dish that brings together creamy lentils, aromatic spices, and a delicious smoky finish. Made with toor dal, this simple yet satisfying and traditionally vegan recipe features a tempering of cumin, garlic, and kashmiri chilli powder. The restaurant-style magic comes from the dhungar technique, where hot charcoal infuses the dal with a rich smoky aroma. Ideally served with steamed rice or flatbreads.
