About Egg tadka

Egg Tadka is a flavorful dish originating from Bengali cuisine, particularly popular in street food culture across India. It consists of boiled or scrambled eggs combined with spiced lentils, typically made from split yellow peas or green gram (moong dal). Cooked with aromatic spices like turmeric, cumin, and garam masala, it is enriched with onions, tomatoes, green chilies, and sometimes ginger or garlic. High in protein from the eggs and lentils, this dish offers essential nutrients like iron, vitamin B6, and fiber, making it a wholesome option. However, the oil and butter used for tempering may add significant calories and fats, requiring mindful preparation for healthier consumption. Versatile and satisfying, Egg Tadka is often served with roti or rice, embodying hearty flavors and a balance of nutrition.
