Lots of requests for this recipe, so here you are a tadka dal for you all to enjoy and relish. I use moong and masoor dal as they are quick lentils to cook and combine well together. This dal is perfect with plain Basmati rice or a hot fluffy chapatti, paratha or naan bread. • • Recipe, serves 5 • · 160g moong dal (yellow split gram) • · 160g masoor dal (red lentil) • · 1400ml water • · 1 ¾ tsp salt • · 2 ¼ tsp turmeric • · 6 tbsp ghee, melted • · 1 ½ tsp cumin seeds • · 1 medium onion, finely chopped • · 1 tbsp ginger and garlic paste • · 1 finger green chilli, finely chopped • · 2 medium tomatoes, finely diced • · ¾ tsp red chilli powder • · 1 ½ tbsp fresh chopped coriander, save some for garnish • · ¾ tbsp dried fenugreek leaves, crushed • · 1 ¼ tsp garam masala • · 1 tsp vegetable oil, to drizzle/swirl over, garnish, optional • Method: • 1. Wash and soak both the masoor and moong lentils for 25-30 minutes and then strain • 2. Boil 1400ml of water, once it comes to a boil, add the strained dals followed by 1 tsp turmeric and ¾ tsp salt • 3. Boil the dal with the lid on to start with for 4-5 minutes • 4. Remove the lid and continue to boil mixing occasionally on a medium heat for another 15-20 minutes • 5. Make the tadka in the meanwhile by heating up the ghee in a sauté pan or saucepan • 6. Once ghee is hot add cumin seeds and let them sizzle before adding finely chopped onions • 7. Cook the onions for 3-4 minutes on a high heat until they are brown and caramelized • 8. Add green chilli and ginger and garlic paste, sauté for 30 seconds before adding in the tomatoes • 9. Add red chilli powder, 1 ¼ tsp of turmeric and 1tsp salt and cook the tadka sauce for 3-5 minutes until the ghee starts to seep out of the edges of the sauce and sizzle • 10. Take the tadka off the heat and wait for the lentils to cook completely until they are soft • 11. Once the lentils are cooked, add the tadka to the dal (add more water at this stage if required), adjust seasoning • 12. Add finishing touches of fresh coriander, dried fenugreek leaves and garam masala, cook for a final minute or so and remove from the heat • 13. Garnish with a swirl/drizzle of vegetable oil and fresh coriander and relish • #Dipnaanandrecipes, #Dipnaanand, #Daltadkarecipevideo, #Howtomakeyellowdaltadka, #Yellowdalrecipe, #Daalrecipes, #Easydalrecipe, #Tadkadalrestaurantstyle, #Tadkadalmasoor, #Tadkadalrecipe, #Tadkadal, #Yellowdalpunjabistyle, #Yellowdalrecipepunjabi, #Yellowdaltadka, #Yellowdal
