  • Pour immediately over dal & cover. Open lid after 5-6 min. This will infuse tadka flavor into dal.Serve hot with rice & top it up with ghee.

Notes

  • You can prepare tadka in ghee too. but I like mustard oil flavor so I make all my tadkas in it.
  • You can also add tomato or whole dried mango slices while boiling dal for additional flavor.
