Tadka, also known as tempering, is a technique used in Indian cooking to enhance the flavors of a dish. This Dal Makhani recipe incorporates a flavorful tadka made with ghee, cumin seeds, garlic, and dried red chilies. The lentils and beans are cooked separately and then topped with the aromatic tadka, adding an extra layer of flavor to the dish. Serve it with rice or naan for a delightful meal.
