About Tarka Daal Recipe:

A classic vegetarian recipe that is so easy to make. Tarka simply refers to the few ingredients fried up and stirred in at the end; most lentil dishes are made this way.

The masur dal (aka. red lentils) is perhaps one of the most common pulses in an Indian kitchen and is a good source of protein, essential amino acids, potassium, iron, fibre and vitamin B1. It also helps to lower cholesterol and control sugar levels.

As well as this it is straight forward to make, is incredibly filling and can easily be frozen and warmed up a later date. 

Add rice and vegetables alongside the dish. Traditionally it is served with a spoonful of yogurt, but it can also work as an accompaniment for a roast chicken or braised lamb.
