The method of preparation seems pretty similar. Can you clarify the difference between them. Thanks in advance, Orshoe <em>Hi Orshoe, thanks for dropping in. If you notice both the recipes, their methods of preparation differ slightly. In Dal Tadka, you first cook the dal by boiling it in water with tomatoes and spices. The takda (tempering) is added on top of the cooked dal to intensify and add in more flavour. However, for Dal Fry, plain boiled dal is add to a flavourbase made of onions, tomatoes and spices and cooked through. Even though they may seem sismilar, both these dishes differ in taste due to the difference in their preparation.</em> I have always wondered the difference between tadka dal and dal fry.

Thanks for the explanation of the Asafoetida. I'll have to look for it and left it out this time, since I didn't have it. Also, I didn't have any red lentils on hand and used the green lentils instead. Despite that my meal tasted GREAT! I'll probably blog about it tomorrow. THANKS, Meena. Paz (Very satisfied and happy!)

Paz: Definitely try it out Paz, wonderful and easy for this cold season. Asafoetida is a kind of spice powder readily available at the local Indian grocery store. It is called as "Hing" in hindi and is often used in the tempering of Dal. You can just omit it if you don't have it, it won't affect the recipe much. Hope you like it!
