Veg Dal Tadka

"This is one of the most popular dishes at roadside eateries and restaurants. It features cooked yellow lentils topped with a hot tempering of clarified butter (ghee), finely chopped garlic, cumin seeds, asafoetida, and dried red chilies. This fragrant and smoky tempering elevates the flavor of the lentils to a whole new level. It is considered best when paired with cumin rice."
