Daal Preparation: Wash the lentils (daal) and cook them until tender with a little salt, turmeric (haldi), and red chili powder.
Wash the rice thoroughly and boil them until fluffy and separate (khile-khile).
Special Tadka: Heat ghee in a frying pan. Fry the garlic until golden brown, then add cumin seeds and whole red chilies. As soon as it becomes aromatic, immediately pour it over the daal.
Serving: Serve the hot rice topped with this flavorful tempered daal (tadke wali daal). Enjoy it alongside a little fresh salad and green chutney!
