My favorite dal tadka from Big Vegan Flavor: Techniques and 150 Recipes to Master Vegan Cooking (page 497) by Nisha Vora

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Pickled red onions; Mint yogurt sauce; Baingan bharta

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    I don't think this is a great dal. It's fine - I've made it twice - but there are better recipes out there (Madhur Jaffrey, Meera Sodha). Don't think I'll bother again.

    I've made many different dal recipes and this was among my favorites. I was pleasantly surprised by the late addition of the tomatoes as I thought they would come off as too acidic but actually it adds a nice freshness to the dish. Would definitely recommend.
