Dal tadka recipe - Dal tadka is my all-time favorite curry. This is the most easiest and can be made within few minutes. A simple looking dal tadka makes a meal delicious when eaten with chapatis and hot steamed rice along with pickle and papad. It doesn't need any preparation or planning. Just pressure cook the dal and temper it with choice of your tempering ingredients and the dal tadka gets ready within few minutes. By using precooked dal, dal tadka can be prepared in less than five minutes. The smoky aroma of red chillies makes the dal tadka special and unique.
