Dal Tadkewali

Dal Tadkewali is Zaika’s take on one of India’s most comforting dishes — a golden lentil curry prepared with care and tradition. Gently cooked yellow lentils are infused with aromatic herbs and spices, then finished with a sizzling tadka of cumin seeds, garlic, and clarified butter that adds irresistible depth and aroma. The result is a dish that’s hearty yet light, simple yet full of layered flavor. Served with fluffy basmati rice or warm naan, Zaika’s Dal Tadkewali captures the essence of everyday Indian home cooking — nourishing, wholesome, and prepared with love in every ladleful.
