Mash a few lentils in between your thumb and forefinger to know if they are really well done and mushy. Sometimes also curry leaves, red chilies, kasuri methi and garam masala are used. The tadka for dal tadka is made with ghee, cumin, garlic, hing, red chilies and chili powder. Sometimes even coriander leaves are used. There is no one right way to make these dishes. So a lot of people also add tadka to just dal fry to transform it to dal tadka. But the tadka is all that makes a huge difference here.

Sarvesh on the other hand, being a true punjabi loves his dal makhani! Tadka or chaunk in hindi is a term we often use in Indian cooking for the process of adding seasoning to a dish. It mostly involves adding spices like cumin seeds, mustard seeds, garlic, chilies, curry leaves etc. Over the years, I have tried countless variations of dal tadka, both in India and then here in the US.
Some people mix several types of lentils while other stick to only toor dal for the recipe. Some make a tadka of onion only, while others go heavy on spices. As with most Indian recipes, there no right or wrong method or way here. You make it in a way you like it. After a lot of attempts, I have finally zeroed on my favorite version of dal tadka and I am really excited to be sharing this one with you guys.
It just takes a simple dal from good to WOW! What is dhungar method you might ask? Piece of charcoal is heated on direct fire and then placed in a bowl which in then placed inside the dish. The dish adsorbs the smokey flavor in that enclosed environment. The longer you close the lid for, the smokier the dish will become so remember to not over-do it.
I never go beyond 15 minutes. You can use the same method to impart smokey flavor to several other dishes like kadai paneer, panner tikka etc. I hope you guys enjoy this dal tadka recipe, we sure did!

Meanwhile crush 4 large garlic cloves, 1-inch ginger and green chili in a mortar pestle and set it aside. Once hot, add the cumin seeds, crushed coriander seeds and cloves. Saute few seconds until fragrant. Cover and cook for 7 to 8 minutes until tomatoes are very soft and cooked. Stir the spices with the masala for few 30 seconds. Onion tomato masala is perfect for making dals. You can cut short cooking time considerably if you have prepared masala in your fridge.
This gives dal an authentic dhaba like the taste. Another way is to have double tadka as I have shown in the video recipe of dal tadka. An extra step of Dhungar can take dal to next level by adding a smoky flavour to it. For that heat a piece of coal and place that in a bowl.
Pour a teaspoon of ghee over coal and immediately place this bowl in the cooked dal and cover with a lid of 5 minutes. Dal chawal is one of the best healthy and satisfying meal combinations you can serve tadka Dal Fry with Basmati rice or jeera rice. Dal also tastes best with flatbreads like Garlic Naan, Butter Naan , laccha Paratha , masala paratha or tandoori roti. You can store leftover dal fry in the fridge for days.
