Garlic Dal Tadka is a vegetarian dinner from North India. It is made with yellow dal, garlic, cumin and ghee. One serving has about 200 kcal, 9 g protein, 25 g carbs and 8 g fat.
Did you know? A North Indian classic where garlic takes center stage. The tempering (tadka) of cumin and golden garlic in ghee transforms simple lentils into a flavor bomb. Each region has its twist - Punjab adds tomatoes, while Kashmir uses mustard oil. Fry garlic until caramelized for depth. This protein-rich dish pairs perfectly with jeera rice or roti. Garlic's antimicrobial properties make it both tasty and healthy.
