Dal Tadka is the most simple sambar variety that can be made in very less time. Its nothing but the tempering/tadka added to the cooked dal. This is a easy and comfort menu during our busy days. This can be served as side dish for rice,jeera rice,plain pulao or roti. Its a staple and healthy food for the vegetarians. Basically this is a Punjabi recipe and we make this with toor dal. Lets look at the steps for making this dal tadka.

My Notes :

1. Instead of toor dal you can make this with moong dal.

2, Instead of shallots you can use big onions.
