Tadka or tempering is an integral part of Indian cooking. Here are five tips to get it perfect.
Using ghee in the tadka gives a rich flavour and taste to the dish.
Using whole spices enhances the flavour of tadka and make sure they do not get burnt.
Heat oil properly before adding the spices to make them sizzle properly.
Ingredients that cook quickly such as curry leaves must be added at last in order to prevent them from burning.
Make sure the consistency of the cooked dal is neither too thin nor too thick before adding tadka to it.
