Restaurant style Dal Fry Recipe – Toor Dal Fry / Arhar Dal Fry Recipe

Dal fry in restaurant style
Restaurant style dal fry recipe with step by step pictures. Dal tadka and Dal fry are two different and popular side dish for rice and roti served in North India. In dal fry, cooked toor dal (Arhar dal in Hindi) is added to the sauteed onion, tomato and spices mixture whereas dal tadka is prepared by pressure cooking toor dal along with onion, tomato. Then it is tempered with spice powders separately. Dal fry can be prepared with moong dal as well. After I tried North Indian dal tadka successfully, I made this easy restaurant style dal fry recipe at home just to find the difference between two. Yes, there are some variations in the method of making, ingredients and taste. Recently when I went to mini Punjabi dhaba, I had this dal fry as a side dish for jeera rice. But I din’t like its taste. I felt it was bland. But this restaurant style dal fry recipe I tried after watching few YouTube videos came out very well with great taste ! I loved it very much. Even though I prepared it (without charcoal) without doing dhungar method, it was so good and flavorful. I served it with plain rice adding ghee. I also prepared Padawal sabzi / Snake gourd sabzi as side dish for this dal fry. It was a yummy combo which I liked it very much. I will post the sabzi recipe tomorrow. Here you go, dal fry in restaurant style with step by step pictures.
