Tadka Dal in Garden Grove
The everyday dal done right: yellow lentils cooked soft, then hit with a sizzling tadka — ghee bloomed with cumin, garlic, dried chilies and curry leaves poured over at the last second so it arrives still crackling. Lighter and brighter than dal makhani, this is the dal for weekday dinners, rice bowls, and anyone eating vegetarian without wanting to feel heavy.
