A bowl of pure comfort — yellow and split lentils simmered slowly with ginger, garlic, tomato and warm spices, finished with a fragrant tempering of ghee and cumin. One of our most requested vegetarian options.
No Afghan, Pakistani or Indian meal feels complete without a good daal, and Afghan Chatkhara Restaurant's version is proof that simple ingredients, cooked with care, can be extraordinary. Yellow and split lentils are simmered low and slow with tomato, ginger, garlic and a warm blend of spices until silky and deeply flavourful.
We finish it with a tadka — a sizzling tempering of ghee, cumin and garlic — stirred in right before serving for a final layer of aroma. It's an ideal choice for vegetarian diners and a comforting, wallet-friendly favourite for takeout across Temple, Monterey Park and Applewood Park.
Our daal is fully vegetarian. It's simmered with ghee for extra richness by default, but can be prepared vegan on request — just ask when you order.
