FAQ
Choice of Dal or lentils: The main ingredient used to make dal fry is the toor dal or arhar dal which is known as split pigeon peas in English. It can be made using any dal of your choice like moong dal, masoor dal, chana dal or even with mixed lentils. My preferred choice is a combination of arhar dal and moong dal.
This adds a lot of texture and additional flavours throughout the dal. But for Dal Tadka, vegetables are rarely used with garlic, dried chillies and ground spices being flash-fried in searing hot ghee or oil and then poured over the cooked dal.
Yes, dal fry recipe is healthy. Made up mainly of masoor dal and yellow moong dal which are healthy. This recipe has 13 grams of protein for serving which is a great source for vegetarians. Ghee : Only 2 tsp ghee are used in the dal making it safe for diabetics and heart patients.
While there is no set limit to the amount of chana dal a person should consume in a day, you should not eat more than 200 grams of it. As mentioned previously, chana dal contains a lot of calories as well as fat and sugar. So you can ideally consume about one cup of dal with lunch and one cup with dinner.
Dal is traditionally served with rice, so this recipe is a great option to make that plain side a little more special. I usually mix my dal with rice on a plate or in a bowl, but you can do it bite by bite or eat them separately if you prefer!
