This is the classic, homestyle lentil curry, eaten across North India! It is full of goodness, can be a side dish or a main and will be loved by all.
Tailored to Taste
Of all the lentil curries that North Indians eat, this would be the most popular. Tarka refers to the cooking of spices and/or flavourings which is added to an already cooked dish, in this case lentils. This was done to keep those flavours and aromas really sharp but also some dishes take a long time to cook and the tarka can be made alongside and then added in once both are done.
Ingredients
  • 1 pack of The Spice Tailor Classic Lentil Tarka Daal (lentils included) 
  • 1-2 tsp. vegetable oil or ghee
Method
  1. Heat the oil or ghee in a saucepan. Add the whole spices, including the extra chilli if you would like some heat and cook until the cumin seeds are sizzling and colouring.
  2. Stir in the tarka sauce (the small pouch) and bring to a simmer.
  3. Add the lentils and a small splash of water, if you would like a thinner consistency, bring to a simmer and serve!
