Trader Joe’s - Indian Fare Yellow Tadka Dal NET WT.10 OZ (284g) - 2-Pack

We normally buy this deliciously spicy Dal directly from Trader Joe's, but that's not possible where we currently spend our winter months. So we were thrilled to see it available - but the packaged amount is much smaller than what we buy from the store directly. Makes it *way* too expensive.

There are several companies selling Dal Tadka. This one is okay, but there are more authentic and better tasting products available on line, and from Amazon. I suppose, the taste is a matter of personal preference. You should try the different choices, and settle on the one you find the best, but I doubt it will be this one.

OK. My honest opinion:Yes it is very good. Let’s establish this clearly.- it’s almost $7.00 per pack. The pack is 10 fl ounces. HOW does this make TWO SERVINGS, as you list on your label?? One bag yields ONE scant serving.- it’s very high in sodium. Why so much salt?So, bottom line: in a pinch, i would buy it again. I would microwave 1 bag, and add a little hot water to make the serving more substantial and less salty

I bought this at Trader Joe's, cooked it for lunch, and when I opened the package there was a foreign black and grey object about 1-1.5" x 3-4" inside the package. As I pulled it out and rinsed it in the sink, I realized it was some kind of meat. There is no meat in the ingredients list! I assume it was a slice of a rat or similar animal caught in the wrong place at the wrong time and pity the customers who receive more recognizable parts of the animal in their lunch. I reported it to Trader Joe's.

Tried something new...but didn't like it. You win some and you lose some, no?

I make a batch of basmati rice and scoop out a portion for lunch at work. I heat the pouch in the microwave for a couple of minutes and pour it over the rice. So filling and delicious. It's a lot cheaper at the TJ store though.

I tried this for the 1st time this evening and served it on top of some Bismati Rice. I bought it from my local store though. It was very good! I will definitely purchase it again. Very fast preparation time too... only 1 minute in the microwave. I recommend this one because it was surprisingly tasty.

This is exactly what I've been looking for. So delicious and super easy to take and eat at work. Yum.
