Tasty Dal Masala

Here's a delicious vegetarian recipe using Roopak's Tasty Dal Masala:

Dal Tadka (Lentil Curry)

Ingredients:

• 1 Cup yellow lentils (toor dal)
• 2 Tablespoons ghee or oil
• 1 Teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 Onion, finely chopped
• 2 Tomatoes, finely chopped
• 2 Cloves garlic, minced
• 1-Inch piece of ginger, grated
• 1 Green chili, chopped (optional, adjust to taste)
• 1 Teaspoon Roopak's Tasty Dal Masala
• 1/2 Teaspoon turmeric powder
• Salt to taste
• Chopped cilantro for garnish
• Lemon wedges for serving (optional)

Instructions:

• Rinse the lentils under running water until the water runs clear. Then, soak them in water for about 30 minutes.
• Drain the lentils and transfer them to a pressure cooker. Add 3 cups of water, turmeric powder, and salt. Pressure cook for about 3-4 whistles, or until the lentils are soft and cooked thoroughly. If you don't have a pressure cooker, you can cook them in a pot on the stove until tender.
• Once the lentils are cooked, heat ghee or oil in a separate pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
• Add chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
• Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and green chili. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes until the raw smell disappears.
• Add chopped tomatoes and cook until they turn mushy and the oil starts to separate from the masala.
• Now, add Roopak's Tasty Dal Masala and stir well to combine. Cook for another minute to roast the spices and enhance their flavor.
• Pour the cooked lentils into the pan with the masala mixture. Stir well and let it simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
• If the consistency is too thick, you can add some water to adjust it according to your preference. Check for salt and adjust if needed.
• Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve hot with steamed rice or roti. You can also squeeze some lemon juice on top for an extra burst of flavor.
