Mixed Tadka Dal With Rice || Tadka Dal With Rice || How to make mixed dal with rice with step-by-step photos and video
Mixed Tadka Dal is literally a delicious and mouthwatering kind of cooked dal. Which has an amazing and flavored taste that attracts it and goes well with rice and chapatis
Mixed tadka dal is made from various kinds of lentils. Which lentils will be used in the mixed dal is totally your choice. Here, I used moong (yellow lentil), masoor (pink or orange), and sabut masoor (black whole lentil) to make mixed dal. This is a delicious, aromatic, and flavored lentil recipe. I just put Tarka over the dal, but you can fry it as well to enhance the taste of the dal.
Most people in Pakistan love to eat dal chawal/lentil rice for lunch. A popular recipe is considered especially during the summer. I prepared mixed dal tadka with steamed rice. It is made with onion, tomato, and spices.
Literally, relish this mouthwatering, mildly spiced with roti, naan, or your favorite steamed rice. Additionally. Dal fry version, I will add them later in the post. Here I also cooked steamed rice alongside da that you can watch in a video, but not explain it in a post, as my focus of the post is on the dal.
What is
the Difference between Dal Tadka and Dal Fry?
Both these lentil recipes are made with different cooking techniques. While the ingredients are more or less the same, the unique cooking method implied makes a difference to the final flavors and taste.
In a dal Tadka:
Moong masoor dal is cooked with aromatics like onion, garlic or ginger, turmeric, and tomatoes. After being lightly mashed, a tadka, or tempering mixture (fried in ghee or oil) of spices, herbs, and seasonings is added to the dal. Then mixed and served.
For a dal fry:
The dal is simply cooked plain or with the addition of turmeric.
which is then mixed with a sauteed onion-tomato base and further simmered
Both of these recipes are famous in the Dhaba (highway and roadside eateries)in Pakistan.
Ingredients of this dal:
I used those ingredients that are easily available in every desi kitchen.
Veggies: you will need onion, tomatoes, both finely
chopped for this dal fry recipe
Green chilies: not as hot as jalapeno, but the just-right level of spice for the dish
Garlic: the subtle flavor is essential in this
recipeButut if you don’t like to add garlic to it, they might well skip it. Though
some flavor profiles will be amiss
Dry red chilies: Dry red chilies
bring a mild spicy flavor to dal. But
if you are not a spice-lover, then skip it. I highly recommend using dry red
chilies in tadka to make a more aromatic and flavorful dal recipe.
Coriander leaves: This simple herb brings
a much-needed hint of freshness to the dal tadka
Cumin seeds: Adding crackled cumin to
dal is the most important part of any type of dal. Cumin plays a good
role in bringing aroma and flavor to dal.
Additional
seasoning: You
will also need several pantry staples, including ginger, turmeric powder, coriander
powder, red chili powder,garam masala, oil, and salt
