🍛 What is a Tarka Dal
Tarka Dal is a delicious red lentil curry, which is popular throughout the Indian subcontinent. The word ‘Tarka’ means a way of frying your spices. Dal is basically a thick lentil soup. So you pour your Tarka into your Dal and you get a tasty Tarka Dal. And this one is even more tasty, because it’s grandma’s special recipe!
🔥 Is it spicy?
A Tarka Dal isn’t too spicy, but if you do find it too spicy you can always add more water to cool it down a little. Whilst the Tarka may seem like it’s going to be spicy, the Dal will cool it down.

You make it look so easy, it looks delicious 😋

[@ButterflyTwinkle1968]

This show is very well done. Unlike other coo shows where the chef is always trying to be some kind of character- as if character is needed to cook- the Balti chefs get right into the cooking and stress that this can be done by you at home. Reminds me of those old shows in public tele like PBS- when PBS was worth watching. Absolutely love to watch and make these recipes 😊

[@kk-xz8jk]

love your demo and love your technique AND love your face .............with respect of course thank you

Hope to you see guys back at some point. Maybe 1 video per month? Would be great. We’re just lucky to have anything though. I’ve eaten these recipes multiple times per week for over a year now. I feel healthier. I ran the macro nutrients on most of the recipes and they’re all so well balanced.

[@thebaltibrothers2574]
