A minimal yet flavorful option: Temper cumin seeds and a pinch of hing (asafoetida) in hot ghee for a subtle, earthy taste that elevates basic dal instantly.
Spice and zest meet in this refreshing take! Green chilies, red chilies, and a splash of lemon juice create a bold and bright flavor combo.
Use mustard seeds, green chilies, and a touch of mustard oil for a smoky, rustic flavor inspired by Bengali cuisine. Perfect with rice!
Slow-roast onions in ghee with curry leaves and mustard seeds. Pour it over moong dal or masoor dal for a warm, soulful dinner.
