Today I am going to share a very simple recipe of chana dal tadka or chana dal curry, this kind of recipe is high in fibre, a rich source of protein and also a good option for people who are on a low carb or diabetic-friendly diet.

I still remember while travelling to Ranchi via Patna there are numerous line hotels and their chana dal tadka which is often known as tadka dal with fulka chapati is fabulous. They cook the lentils in an iron wok to make it little dark along with so many spices. I am glad to commemorate the aroma of it, my father used to wakeup us during those days just to have a taste of such a delicious recipe.

I am not exactly sharing the same recipe, but today’s recipe is simple yet delicious, It carries the normal taste of tadka, but there are no hot spices. Later on, I will try to share those line hotel-style dal tadka, but today’s recipe is very simple and reminds my Monday meal of mother’s hand. Let’s learn step by step process to prepare this recipe.
