For most vegetarians ' dal' or lentils and legumes are one of the most source of protein. This navaratan dal tadka as the name indicates is a lentil based recipe prepared by using nine different kinds of dal such as dried yellow pea, moth bean, whole green gram, split black gram, whole black gram, whole red lentil with husk, chick pea, red gram , red kidney bean. I usually keep the consistency of dal thick as I serve it with chapati, naan or Paratha. You can serve along with zeera rice or any vegetable pulao.
