Daal Tadka

 Daal Tadka- a resturant dish which is stapel in almost all households today.
I always opt for this daal to Makhani daal if i want to go light on the menu.
This daal is not only simple to cook but also has robust flavours.

You can enjoy this with Piping hot rice, paratha, naan, roti.... and not to forget little bit of pickel along with this can twich your pallet!
