About Our Dal Tadka

Dal Tadka is one of India's most beloved comfort foods and a signature specialty at Masala Lounge & Grill. Our authentic recipe features yellow lentils (toor dal) slow-cooked until soft and creamy with turmeric and other spices. The magic happens with the "tadka" – a tempering of hot ghee infused with cumin seeds, garlic, dried red chilies, and fresh tomatoes, which is poured over the cooked lentils, creating an explosion of aromatic flavors.

What makes our Dal Tadka special is its perfect balance of comfort and flavor – creamy lentils enhanced by the bold, aromatic tadka tempering. Finished with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lemon, this nutritious dish is both satisfying and wholesome. We serve our Dal Tadka with steamed basmati rice or hot tandoori roti for the ultimate comfort meal.
