DAL FRY THAT YOU CANT RESIST | Ultimate Tadka dal recipe
Recipe Information
Dal Fry
Cultural Context
Dal Fry is a popular dish in Indian cuisine, often served as a staple in households across the country. It is made by cooking lentils and then tempering them with spices and aromatics. This dish reflects the rich culinary traditions of India, where lentils are a primary source of protein, especially in vegetarian diets. Dal Fry is commonly enjoyed with rice or flatbreads, making it a versatile meal option.
ghee or oil
🥗Healthier: olive oil
💰Cheaper: vegetable oil
Olive oil is healthier; vegetable oil is more budget-friendly.
split yellow lentils
🥗Healthier: red lentils
💰Cheaper: pulses
Red lentils are nutritious and cook faster; pulses are often cheaper.
Wash 50 grams of Chana Dal, 50 grams of Moong Dal, and 150 grams of Toor Dal under cold water.
Add 1 liter of boiling water to the lentils and let them sit for 1 hour.
After an hour, add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder to the lentils.
If using a pressure cooker, cook the lentils until soft; if using a normal pan, it will take about 40-45 minutes.
While the lentils are cooking, finely chop 2-3 garlic cloves and a piece of ginger.
Finely chop 1 medium-sized onion.
In a hot pan, add 1-2 tablespoons of homemade ghee and 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds.
Once the cumin seeds sizzle, add the chopped ginger and garlic, cooking for about 1 minute.
Add the chopped onions and sauté until they are very lightly golden, about 5-6 minutes.
Prepare for the second tadka by finely chopping 2-3 garlic cloves and a handful of fresh coriander.
Slit 2 green chilies without chopping them to avoid making the dish too hot.
Check the lentils; they should be mushy and well-cooked.
Mix the lentils well and add a couple of hundred mL of boiling water to reach the desired consistency.
In a small pan for the final tadka, heat a couple of tablespoons of ghee.
Thinly slice the garlic for the final tadka.
Add the sliced garlic and a chopped red chili to the hot ghee and cook until fragrant.
Add 8-15 curry leaves to the pan and let them sizzle with the garlic and chili.
Once the garlic is golden, pour the tadka over the cooked lentils and mix well before serving.
