– Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, green chilies, grated ginger, minced garlic (if using), and chopped tomatoes.

– Add a pinch of asafoetida and curry leaves. Sauté for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

3. Combining the Tadka with the Dal:

– Pour the prepared tadka into the cooked dal.

– Combine thoroughly, letting the flavors harmonize.

4. Garnishing and Serving:

– Adorn your dal tadka with a sprinkle of fresh coriander leaves.

– For an extra zing, squeeze some lemon juice over the top (optional).
