RED LENTIL CURRY | MASOOR DAL TADKA | MASOOR DAL RECIPE

Red Lentil Curry - Masoor Dal Tadka - Dal Tarka - Masoor Dal Recipe
If there is one food that I can have everyday for lunch or dinner, it is dal in any form. Whether it is dal tadka made with red lentils or any type of lentils. Dal is a staple food of India and sometimes I am really amazed thinking about the innumerable recipes there are, with each region having their own special way of making daal. Today I chose red lentils for making dal tadka where Dal = lentils and tadka/tarka/chounk is seasoning or tempering the dal with hot oil/ghee and your choice of spices. You can even make this with yellow lentils or a combination of different type of lentils. Serve this dal with rice, roti, naan or a toasted bread along with any vegetable curry of your choice. Please visit my channel page for your choice of vegetable curry.

Ingredients required for making dal tadka - Serves 10
For cooking the dal -
* 1 cup red lentils. If you want to cook the dal in a pot then please watch this video - • 3 EASY RED LENTIL RECI...
Just remember not to add ginger while cooking the dal as shown in the above video because ginger will be fried later in this recipe.
* 3 cups boiling hot water
* 1/4 th teaspoon turmeric powder (haldi)
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
For cooking the curry -
* 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
* 1 large onion
* 1 & 1/2 inch length ginger finely grated
* 2 large garlic cloves chopped
* 2 large ripe tomatoes
* 2 cups of hot water (Add more if you want your dal to be more soupy)
* 1 tablespoon chopped coriander stalks(optional)
* 1 green chilli chopped (optional). Can even use jalapeño or Serrano peppers
* 1 teaspoon salt or as per taste
* 2 tablespoons oil
For the spice paste -
* 1/2 teaspoon red chilli powder (optional). You can even use paprika if you so not want the heat. Please adjust the proportion of chili powder according to your preference.
* 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder (haldi)
* 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander (dhania powder)
* 4 tablespoons water
* coriander leaves (as little or as much)
For the tadka -
* 1 tablespoon ghee. You can even use oil or butter or a combination of oil and butter/ghee
* 1 dry red chilli
* 2 large garlic cloves sliced thinly
* 1/4 th teaspoon red chilli powder/paprika
Tips -
* wash your lentils very well before cooking until the water runs clear.
* cook the lentils till they are buttery soft.
* do not mash the dal too much after cooking.
* this dal stays good in the fridge for 3 to 4 days but keep them in separate containers for each day. Too much handling spoils dal very fast. You can even freeze this dal.
* if you want a more runny dal then add more water.
* dal thickens up a lot once it cools down. You can always add some water before heating and bring it up to a boil or microwave it. In that case check for seasoning and add a sprinkle of salt if required.

Hi Bumbi. Hope you are well. I made your red lentil curry. Wow!!! it turned out perfect and was absolutely delicious. Very healthy also. I will be making this regularly now. Thank you so much for recipe xx

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

So very happy to hear that. Thanks Emily for sending your feedback. Really appreciate it 🙏🏾

[@jayneholdsworth5608]

Please show recipe without pressure cooker

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

@jayneholdsworth5608 you can make it without a pressure cooker using the same recipe. The only difference, you will need to add more water and the cooking time will be way more if cooking in a pot

[@jayneholdsworth5608]

Thanks for your quick reply tried a lot of your recipes very good

[@stalagnight]

Thank you. I love your soft voice, so many people screech.

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Fantastic as always

[@SarahAnderson-id4yz]

Looks amazing. I will make this🎉

[@veenakhetawat4549]

Hi Bumbi. This is exactly how I make my dal tadka. The only difference is that , I use a mix of moong dal, tuvar dal, chilti moong dal and masoor dal. Sometimes I also add some peas to the dal as my family loves it. Nothing better than hot jeera rice and dal tadka . It’s my favourite comfort food. 😋😋

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Oh yes I also make with different combinations at times and all those recipes will be coming in the future slowly. I chose only masoor as it is the most readily available one here at all grocery stores. Thanks for leaving a comment and sharing how you make your dal tadka.

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

So glad you liked it. Thanks for sending your feedback 🙏🏾

[@SidestepTheQuestion]

Greetings again, Bumbi! I made this curry and it was delicious! Once again, everyone kept refilling their plates until it was almost gone. Next time I make one of your recipes, I think I will make double because it's so good! I never thought I could make something that tasted as good as my favorite Indian restaurant. I think your thorough instructions have been the key to success, and I thank you for it. The most important thing I've learned from your channel is the importance of TIME in cooking. Meaning, now I am careful to give the onions, paste, or gravy the proper time that each needs to fully develop its flavor now. Thank you again for your effort in making these videos. I'm already searching for a recipe to try next week.

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

You are right, time plays an important role when cooking Indian food. Time and patience are the key things. I am so happy you are trying my recipes. Though I do not specialize in restaurant cooking but most of my recipes are based on Indian homestyle cooking

[@Maxamos555]

Yummy

[@rekhaherath2985]

Thank you . Very tasty dish.

[@davidellis2021]

Made this yesterday as a side dish when some friends came round. We all liked it. Thanks Bumbi.

[@saniakuriakose1025]

I love how precisely you explain everything to elevate the flavour of the dish, the detailed ingredients in the description box, the substitutes, the methods and techniques! It's a whole package unlike the other RUclipsrs! I can't wait to try out all of 'em!
