Urad Dal Tadka

Urad Dal Tadka is prepared with freshly ground spices and tastes really scrumptious. Making lentils or dal has always been a saver for me, when it comes to time and efforts. When you are in no mood of cooking too lavish dishes or looking for some simple meals then making dal is a good option for you. I often include dals in my meals, especially dinners.
