Dal tadka

Dal tadka is the dal you find everywhere in North India, from home kitchens to roadside dhabas. Toor dal, split pigeon peas, cooks soft and creamy and only gets its character at the very last moment.

That happens with the tadka. You heat cumin seeds, a pinch of hing, garlic and chili powder in a small pan of ghee until they sizzle and smell fragrant, and pour that over the dal in one go. Hing, the dried resin of asafoetida, smells pungent and sharp from the jar, but softens in the hot fat and gives the dal a rounded, slightly onion-like depth. Because the spices release their aroma in the hot fat and only go into the pan at the end, they remain fresh and pronounced instead of boiling away.

There are almost as many versions as there are cuisines. This one keeps it to a simple base of onion and tomato, and is at its best with rice or roti and a squeeze of lemon.
