Method
Rinse the toor dal thoroughly and boil it in 3 cups of water with turmeric until soft and creamy, then stir in salt to taste.
In a small pan, heat ghee and prepare the tadka by sautéing cumin seeds and sliced garlic until fragrant, adding dried red chilies and a pinch of hing if desired.
Pour the aromatic tadka gently over the cooked dal, letting the flavors mingle as it simmers for 3–5 minutes.
Stir in red chili powder and a pinch of garam masala to enhance warmth and depth in every bite.
Finish with ¼ tsp of ZAFF Aroma Powder, infusing the dal with a delicate, golden fragrance that elevates the dish.
