The secret that makes masoor dal special lies in its tadka. A traditional Bengali style simple masoor dal or red lentil recipe gets a dramatic impact the moment ghee hits the pan.The tadka begins its wonder when chopped garlic comes in contact with the sizzling hot oil and fills the kitchen with a nice aroma. The spices then join to enrich the dal with aromatic cumin seeds, green and dry red chillies and colourful Kashmiri Red Chilli Powder.Fresh herbs like chopped coriander makes the dal all the more flavourful.

#dalsMasoor dal tadka is a popular dal in India and one of the easiest to make. The tadka (tempering), is a combination of Indian spices which are fried and immediately poured over the lentils to infuse the flavours. As the lentils cook, they turn yellow and have a wonderful earthy flavour. Serve this with hot jeera rice.

#Dal - Masoor Dal (red lentil) being one of my favourite, I decided to make something different this time. So here is my version of dal tadka, which I generally make either with tuvar dal or split moong dal. The end result was simply delicious and I had along with plain steamed rice and with a dash of lime. You can as well have it with any Indian bread too.
