PESHAQ's Original Punjabi Daal Tadka Powder (100g)

Punjabi Dal Tadka, a comforting and quintessential dish from the heart of Punjab, is a celebration of simplicity, soul, and smoky spice. Rooted in the warm kitchens of Punjabi homes and dhabas lining the highways, this dish brings together tradition and rustic charm in every spoonful.

At its core, the dish uses a wholesome mix of lentils — often toor and moong or masoor — slow-cooked until creamy, and then transformed with the magic of a tadka: a sizzling tempering of ghee, garlic, cumin, onions, and red chillies. It’s this final flourish — poured hot over the dal just before serving — that infuses the dish with its signature depth and aroma.

Often paired with jeera rice or hot phulkas, Punjabi Dal Tadka isn’t just a meal — it’s a memory of hearty family dinners, roadside feasts, and the unmistakable warmth of Punjabi hospitality. Bold, comforting, and utterly satisfying — this dish is proof that flavor lies in the simplest of things, done right.
