ABOUT Egg tadka RECIPE

Egg tadka is highly popular in roadside dhabas. In my house this is one of the common side dishes which my mother used to prepare. It's very nutritious and healthy recipe. You can make it vegetarian too without egg.

I'm a little foxed... Are you actually refering to the DAAL as TADKA? TADKA to my knowledge is 'chhouNk lagana' ... Tadka translates as "tempering." It is a method widely used in Indian cuisine, in which whole or ground spices are heated in hot oil or ghee and the mixture is added to a dish. ... Tempering also can be used at the end of the cooking process.
