Tag: Dal tadka nutrition

A typical serving of homemade Punjabi Dal Tadka contains approximately 259 calories, based on a combination of lentils, spices, and ghee tempering. However, the term 'Punjabi tadka' can refer to a savory lentil dish or a high-calorie packaged snack mix, making the actual calorie count highly variable depending on what you're eating.

According to nutrition experts, one teaspoon of ghee contains approximately 45 calories, and since tadka is built on a base of fat, the calorie content is not fixed. The total number of calories can vary significantly depending on the type and amount of fat used, and other ingredients added to the tempering.
