Super tasty tadka with mustard seeds, kalongi seeds & spices in authentic mustard oil.  Try it & you will never go back to  plain tadka!
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
​
Tadka is a kind of tempering used to make lentils/beans/curries more tasty and healthy. It's an Ayurvedic concept - one that enhances digestion as well as body's healing capacity due to the influence of ginger, garlic, spices and herbs in it. The oil in the tadka is used by the body to transfer spices into the cells and use the spices for their healing properties.


What are the benefits of my tadka? Why did I 'design' this? Read on...

Mustard & Cumin Seeds - Digestives as well as nutrient dense
Cilantro - Cancer fighting herb + blood cleanser + flushes heavy metals out of the body
Tomatoes - Cancer fighter (esp. prostate cancer) + good for skin 
Garlic & Green Chilies - Cancer fighters + digestives + anti-inflammatory + anti-bacterial + anti-viral
Turmeric - Cancer fighting spice + anti-inflammatory
Cayenne - Cancer fighting spice + blood cleansing + heart healthy!
Black Seeds - Powerful cancer inhibitors as well as great for cancer and inflammation prevention. 
Asafoetida - An excellent spice for digestion and healing of the gut.


Ingredients for Tadka (Tempering) -
​
1. Organic, Unrefined coconut oil - 4 to 6 tablespoons
2. Mustard seeds - 1 Teaspoon
3. Cumin seeds - 3-4 Tablespoons
4. Black seeds - 1 Tablespoon
5. Asafoetida (hing) - Pinch's worth

6. Organic tomatoes
7. Garlic (1 or 2 whole garlic -the more, the better!)
8. Green chilies - 4

9. 1 whole bunch organic cilantro/coriander
10. Turmeric, cayenne, sea salt (add less first, you can adjust later - so 1/3 teaspoon each)

​NOTE - Turmeric & mustard seeds - if added too much, can make food slightly bitter. So add less first.
Do enjoy with family/friends as well as give some to your dogs. Very healthy for them..:)

Oh, I am BACK and hoped to find a zillion comments about this dish. Since first making it, it has become a regular in my refrigerator and I eat it a couple times a day, EVERY DAY.

In addition to every bite having an amazing blend of delicious, every bit is like nourishing every cell.

THANK YOU for sharing your talent for food and nutrition with the world.

Dear Joanne - It is SUCH A DELIGHT to have YOU as my subscriber! It is me who is lucky one - you take your time to give feedback and spread hope and gratitude.

Most people are not like you - they get what they want (recipe, post, articles, etc) withOUT appreciating the value of FREE content and withOUT ever taking time to say thanks and acknowledging how much time and energy it must have taken for the person to do all this for them!! So, THANK YOU!! -Somyata.
