Dhaba style! Daal Tadka(T)

Slow-simmered lentils meet a fragrant tempering of cumin, garlic, tomato, and gentle spices in this lighter rendition of a beloved North Indian dhaba staple. The dal has a creamy, hearty texture with smoky aromatic depth and a warm, savory finish. Prepared with minimal oil, no added sugar, and restrained sodium, it captures the comforting character of roadside Punjabi cooking without restaurant-style heaviness. It pairs beautifully with steamed rice, millet, or fresh roti.
