About Dal Tadka
Dal tadka is yellow lentils, usually toor or moong dal, cooked until soft and finished with a tadka: ghee or oil sizzled with cumin, garlic, chili and spices, poured over just before serving.
Regional versions
Every region has its own dal. Dal fry is cooked with onion and tomato, sambar is the South Indian version with tamarind and vegetables, and Gujarati dal is slightly sweet.
What to order with it
Order it with jeera rice or roti. It is a lighter choice next to rich curries like butter chicken or malai kofta.

How this list is made
We started from public records, OpenStreetMap and Overture Maps, searched town by town for places those records miss, and read each restaurant's menu from its website or online ordering page. Places whose opening hours we could not confirm recently say so, and we check them again every month. Dishes marked "on the menu" come from the restaurant's own website or ordering page. "Usually served" is our best guess from the style of the place, so call ahead if you have your heart set on it.
