How to make daal fry/daal fry recipe/daily tadka recipe

Delicious and simple recipe to make daal fry with chopped tomato, onions and some regular spices.

Hello everyone👋

Daal fry is a very popular lentil recipe across India and at every Indian restaurants..It is called by many other names like daal tadka,daal masala..It is a very delicious recipe which is made using boiled lentils and then sautéing it with onions, tomatoes, garlic and some spices.The process of sautéing the cooked lentils in spices is typically called as FRY in India..Daal fry is made using different types of lentils but the one I have used is Arhar daal/toor daal which known as pigeon peas.Daal fry is served with rice or roti/tortilla and its just super delicious.

This delicacy is made in so many different ways but I have brought a very simple and yummy recipe for daal fry which is amazing.. I feel, too much of anything ruins the food, so the ingredients and also the spices used are really minimal..As India is known to be a country of spices and the varieties it serves..I would say we definitely like our food at a little spicier side but to keep the authenticity of the food intact, we must not be adding anything too much which will eventually taste not so good..
