Classic Dal Tadka is a popular Indian dish made with yellow lentils (toor dal) cooked with aromatic spices and tempered with ghee and cumin seeds. It is a comforting and flavorful dish that pairs well with rice or roti. The lentils are cooked until soft and then tempered with a mixture of spices like cumin, mustard seeds, garlic, and dried red chilies. The tempering adds a burst of flavor to the dal, making it irresistible.
