Dahi ka Tadka also known as Dahi Tikhari, is an easy and simple curry recipe made with yogurt (curd) and spiced tempering in less than 10 minutes. Low carb and keto-friendly. You can serve Dahi tikhari with roti, rice, or parathas.
Dahi means ‘Yogurt’, and tadka means ‘tempering’ (warmed spiced oil). The tempered oil adds zestful of flavors to anything you add.
I first tasted this dish in a Kathiyawadi Rajasthani Dhaba near my hometown in India, and I absolutely loved it with stuffed parathas. It is also known as dahi tikhari, dahi ka tadka or tadke wali dahi.
Dahi Tadka curry is a Low carb or Keto-friendly recipe. If you are on a Keto or Low Carb Diet, check out my Keto Indian Food Recipes Collection.
Make sure to use only fresh greek yogurt (hung yogurt) for this recipe, as greek yogurt is keto-friendly. If you use regular yogurt, the curry doesn't taste that well.
