Tadka Dal — Spiced Indian Lentils

If I had to list my all-time favorite dal recipe it would be this.  

Simple, satiating, and soul-comforting, dal tadka.

The taste I grew up with.

Lentil Curry With Zucchini And Spring Onions — Zucchini Parippu Curry

Each time I visit one of those classy looking web sites, my wish list keeps increasing. I wish I were more articulate. I wish I had a better camera. I wish I knew html. I wish I could make my blog pages more appealing. I wish...   I wish...!! Sigh. In all honesty I have to say that I'm not too happy with the look and feel of this site and I've been trying to update the recipe index tab, the about page, as well as work on some other bits and pieces. But for some reason my site has been acting funny and this whole thing is turning to be quite time-consuming. So, hope you have more patience with me as I work on the updates. Thank you.

Two days ago I made this simple dish with creamy and nutritious split red lentils. I always stock my storecupboards with different pulses as they have an indefinite shelf life. Dal is a staple food of South Asia. For me, it is a comfort food. Especially lentil soups. Have you ever tried the lentil soup from Nando's? It's so yummy!
