Dal Tadka is one of the most loved North Indian dals, made with yellow split pigeon peas (toor/arhar dal) simmered with tomatoes, and spices. The highlight is the tempering (“tadka”) of ghee, cumin seeds,  and dried red chilies poured over the cooked dal, giving it a smoky, aromatic flavor. It is mildly spicy, buttery, and pairs perfectly with rice or roti.
