Tadka Daal (Toor Daal)

Toor Tadka Dal is a comforting and flavorful Indian dish made from split pigeon peas (toor dal) cooked until soft and then tempered with a fragrant tadka (tempering) of spices. The dal is typically seasoned with turmeric, cumin seeds, mustard seeds, garlic, and dried red chilies, which are fried in hot oil to release their aromatic flavors. The tadka is then poured over the cooked dal, infusing it with rich, savory notes. Toor Tadka Dal is often served with steamed rice or roti, making it a nourishing and satisfying meal that's both simple and delicious. Made with oil, not ghee, it is suitable for vegans and naturally high in plant protein. Good to know Pure vegetarian guarantee: no egg, no meat, no fish.
