The Ultimate Dal Tadka Recipe

Ingredients:

• • 1 cup Toor Dal (split pigeon peas)

• • 2 tablespoons Canistel A2 Desi Cow Ghee

• • 1 medium onion, finely chopped

• • 1 large tomato, chopped

• • 4-5 garlic cloves, minced

• • 1-inch piece of ginger, grated

• • 2 green chilies, slit

• • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds

• • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds

• • A pinch of asafoetida (hing)

• • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder

• • 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder

• • 1 teaspoon coriander powder

• • 1 teaspoon garam masala

• • Salt to taste

• • Fresh coriander leaves, chopped for garnish

• • Juice of half a lemon (optional)

Instructions:

1. 1. Cook the Dal:
      

       

      • • Rinse the toor dal thoroughly under running water. Soak it for 15-20 minutes.
      • • In a pressure cooker, add the soaked dal along with 3 cups of water, turmeric powder, and a pinch of salt. Cook for 3-4 whistles until the dal is soft and mushy. Set aside.

1. 1. Prepare the Tadka (Tempering):
      

       

      • • In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat 2 tablespoons of Canistel A2 Desi Cow Ghee on medium flame.
      • • Add the cumin seeds and mustard seeds. Let them splutter.
      • • Add a pinch of asafoetida, followed by the minced garlic, grated ginger, and slit green chilies. Sauté until the garlic turns golden brown and aromatic.
      • • Toss in the chopped onions and cook until they turn translucent.
      • • Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften and the oil starts to separate from the mixture.

1. 1. Spice It Up:
      

       

      • • Stir in the red chili powder, coriander powder, and a little salt. Cook the spices for 2-3 minutes to enhance their flavors.

1. 1. Combine the Dal and Tadka:
      

       

      • • Pour the cooked dal into the pan and mix well with the tadka. Add water as needed to adjust the consistency.
      • • Let the dal simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Stir in the garam masala and cook for another minute.

1. 1. Finish with a Ghee Tadka:
      

       

      • • For that extra burst of flavor, heat a teaspoon of Canistel A2 Desi Cow Ghee in a small pan. Add a few cumin seeds, and once they splutter, pour this hot ghee over the dal. This final tadka not only enhances the taste but also gives the dal a beautiful sheen.

1. 1. Serve:
      

       

      • • Garnish the Dal Tadka with fresh coriander leaves and a squeeze of lemon juice for a tangy kick. Serve hot with steamed rice or naan, and enjoy the rich, creamy taste of Canistel’s A2 Desi Cow Ghee in every bite.
