About Indian tarka daal
Tarka Daal is a flavorful Indian dish made from split lentils, traditionally yellow or red, cooked until soft and infused with aromatic spices. The dish gets its signature flavor from the "tarka" (or tempering), which involves frying ingredients like garlic, cumin, mustard seeds, onions, and sometimes tomatoes in ghee or oil before mixing them into the lentils. Rich in plant-based protein and dietary fiber, Tarka Daal is highly nutritious and supports healthy digestion. It is also an excellent source of essential vitamins and minerals, including iron, magnesium, and B vitamins. Low in fat and cholesterol-free when prepared with minimal oil, it is a heart-healthy choice. However, the ghee or added oils can contribute to higher fat content, so moderation is key for calorie-conscious diets. Often served with rice or flatbreads, Tarka Daal is a comforting, flavorful staple of Indian cuisine known for its wholesome simplicity.
