If your homemade dal or curries don't taste restaurant quality, then don't worry! It's not you. You'll see this super easy guide on how to make tadka for restaurant style dal. In this video I show you the benefits of tempering spices in hot oil, why blooming in fat beats sprinkling dry spice, tips and tricks, and how to enhance your dal!
This is Part 2 of 3: the dressing went up Saturday, the tadka today, and the full smashed cucumber salad lands this Saturday.
