Description:

Daal Fry is a popular and flavorful Indian dish made from cooked lentils (typically yellow or red lentils) that are seasoned with a variety of spices and then sautéed in ghee or oil. The key to its rich flavor lies in the tempering or "tadka," which involves frying ingredients like cumin seeds, garlic, ginger, onions, tomatoes, green chilies, and garam masala in hot ghee or oil. This enhances the dal with aromatic, savory notes. Daal Fry is often thicker in consistency compared to regular daal, with a slightly caramelized texture. It is usually served with rice or roti, making it a comforting and wholesome meal enjoyed in many Indian homes.
