  2. Hi Amit,

    I really follow your page religiously.
    I am a student in abroad and your blog has made my life easier.

    Thanks.

    Can you please provide the recipe on how to make arhar dal with curry leaves and rai tadka?5 stars

    1. thanks shubhangi. glad to know. you can use this same recipe and give a tadka of curry leaves and rai. in this recipe, after adding oil heat it on low to medium-low flame. then add ½ teaspoon mustard seeds. let them start crackle. then add ½ teaspoon cumin seeds and let them crackle too. add curry leaves and 1 dry red chilli or 1 green chilli (whatever you prefer). mix and stir. then add onion and continue with the recipe. when using curry leaves and rai, do not add cloves and tej patta. the rest of the ingredients you can add. you can even use both green chili and red chili, but make sure that they are not pungent or spicy.

  3. Hi, My husband requested for punjabi style dhal fry and I tried this today and it came out very well. It was simple and easy to make. Thank you.

  4. Hi. last night i tried dis recipe. its comes out very tasty. my family loves it especially my brother. thnx once again. Allah Bless u.

  5. What a wonderful recipe. My hubby loved it. But i wanted to know why did you add ginger and onions in the dal while boiling it.

    1. when dal is cooked with onions, it gives a nice subtle sweet taste in the dal. so most of the times when making dal or dal tadka, i add some onions, haldi (turmeric) and hing while cooking dal. ginger can be skipped when cooking dal. sometimes i add ginger and sometimes garlic or both.

  6. Yummy. I added ghee fried slit green chillies and ghee fried chopped coriander leaves in the end.

  7. The recipe is just not there. Only the heading and the comments are there. Pls check.

    1. just checked. on the laptop we can see the recipe. but on the mobile its not there. some issues with the mobile software that is causing this. will do the needful. thanks for letting us know.

  8. I tried this today – it is absolutely delicious!!! I blitzed my dal in a blender to make it extra smooth, before adding the tempering mix. I also didn’t have any Kashmiri chili powder so I used a little bit of paprika instead, and used a red chili as I didn’t have a green one! I will definitely be making this again 😀5 stars

  9. You don’t say when to add the green chili to the tempering mixture…. I added it after the garlic (but I forgot the onions at that stage… still, it tastes ok).

    1. thanks for letting me know. i have updated the post. you can add after garlic or after sauteing the onions. onions are important in this recipe. i hope you added them.

      1. I really luv ur recipe and I tried often and the result was superb..thanks and I do hope that we would get to know much more about your new recipe..
