Heat oil in a pan on medium flame and add cumin seeds. Let them splutter.
Add garlic, curry leaves, dry red chili, hing, and saute for a few seconds till the garlic turns light brown in color.
Next, add turmeric, red chili powder and mix well. Turn off the gas immediately.
Take thick, whisked curd (yogurt) in a bowl. Pour the tempering over the yogurt, add salt to taste, and mix well.
Note: If you prefer a runnier consistency curry, add ¼ to ½ cup of water to the whisked yogurt and mix until smooth.
Lastly, mix well. Garnish with coriander leaves.

Tips

Use fresh yogurt for this dahi tadka recipe, do not use sour curd.
You can reduce or omit garlic in this recipe and replace it with extra hing, but I highly recommend adding it for the tempering.

Vegan: Replace dairy yogurt with plant-based yogurt such as almond, soya, or coconut yogurt. Use oil instead of ghee.
Consistency: If you prefer dahi tadka to be a little runny, add ¼ to ½ cup of water to whisked yogurt and mix until smooth.
Onions: Add onions while preparing the tempering for a richer flavor.
