It is the most common dish in Indian cuisine and also a favorite and most demanded food at Indian Restaurants and Dhabas.
Dal Tadka recipe is a deliciously smooth dal that is a true delight with rice or roti. You can make this dal thick or medium consistency according to your taste. Let’s learn to make dal tadka.

Cover with the lid, put the weight on. Turn the heat on medium.
Let it cook for 5-6 whistles till dal cooked completely. Once the pressure is released, open the lid. Add amchoor powder and garam masala. Mix well and keep it aside.

Tips:

  • Temper the dal with Desi ghee instead of oil, it gives amazing taste.
  • Dal Tadka is not thin and is usually has a medium to thick consistency. So you can adjust the amount of water as per your choice.
  • I have used only toor dal here. You may use a combination of toor, moong and masoor dal too.
