Frequently Asked Questions
What type of lentils are used in the Dal Fry?
We primarily use yellow pigeon peas (Toor Dal) and split yellow lentils (Moong Dal) for a creamy texture and mild flavor.
How is Dal Fry different from Dal Tadka?
Dal Fry involves cooking the boiled lentils directly with the onion-tomato masala base, making it thicker and fully integrated with the spices, whereas Tadka has tempering poured over the top at the end.
Is this dish very spicy?
It has a medium spice level, utilizing fresh green chilies and a touch of red chili powder for flavor rather than intense heat.
Can I have this without ghee?
Yes, we can prepare the Dal Fry using refined cooking oil instead of ghee to make it entirely vegan.
What is the best accompaniment for Dal Fry?
It pairs beautifully with steamed Basmati rice, Jeera rice, or fresh, hot rotis from the tandoor.
About Dal Fry
A quintessential Indian comfort food, our Dal Fry is made from a blend of slow-cooked yellow lentils (Toor and Moong dal). Once perfectly mashed and creamy, the lentils are pan-fried with a fragrant mix of finely chopped onions, juicy tomatoes, green chilies, and earthy spices like turmeric and cumin. It is a hearty, wholesome, and lightly spiced dish that feels just like a warm, home-cooked meal.
