Why is desi tadka important in Indian dishes?

Desi tadka is more than just a cooking step—it is a way of elevating simple meals into something extraordinary. When spices are roasted in oil or ghee, their natural oils are released, enhancing aroma and flavor. This technique can completely transform dishes such as dal, curries, or even snacks. Without tadka, Indian food often feels incomplete. At Desi Angrez, chefs use authentic methods of tadka to give dishes a rich, layered flavor that connects diners to authentic Indian culinary traditions while also appealing to modern palates in Canada.
