Masoor Dal with South Indian Tadka
#Navratrisatvikfood - This is an absolutely simple homemade and an everyday kind of dal (lentil) preparation. No restaurant style at all. It has some South Indian flavour in the form of tadka (tempering) and is devoid of any onion, ginger or garlic. You can also add some sambar powder to the end product. I like to relish it with plain steamed rice, with a dash of lime and some roasted papads as accompaniment.
