Dal Tadka is a popular Indian dish made by cooking lentils (dal) and then seasoning them with a mix of spices and ghee. The dish is commonly made with split pigeon peas (toor dal) or split chickpeas (chana dal), but other types of lentils can also be used. The dish is typically served with rice, roti or naan, and is garnished with cilantro and tomato. The Tadka is a process of tempering in which ghee or oil is heated and spices like cumin, mustard seeds, and red chili are added to it and then poured on top of the cooked dal.
