Dal is the Hindi word for lentils, and tadka refers to an aromatic tempering made by blooming spices in hot ghee or oil. So Dal tadka refers to a lentil curry finished with an aromatic tempering. When the spices and herbs are fried in ghee it gives an amazing aroma and the release of essential oils from the spices enhances the flavour of the dal. No amount of junk foods can replace the incredible dal. It is served with roti in the morning, with rice during the lunch and even during dinner. Dal occupies it place throughout the day. Though every region has slight differences in the preparation of dal, but the love for dal tadka remains.
