Dal Fry and Dal Tadka are two most popular Indian dal-lentils recipes. Both the recipes are prepared differently. Due to their different methods of preparation, they both have unique flavors and tastes.
Dal Fry:
As I have mentioned earlier in my post about Dal Fry, that generally arhar dal is used to make it. However, one can also use moong or chana dal.
In Dal fry the dal is boiled first. A base or mixture of onion, tomatoes and spices with oil is prepared and this is added to the dal and cooked further. Here is a link to recipe of Dal Fry:

Dal Tadka:
In Dal Tadka the dal is cooked till soft with onions, tomatoes and spices. A tempering/chaunk/tadka of spices like cumin seeds, mustard seeds, asafoetida, red chillies etc is prepared. This tempering is added to the cooked dal and the dal is served immediately.
Both the dal recipes have their own unique taste and flavour.
