Of all the lentil curries that North Indians eat, this would be the most popular. Tarka refers to the cooking of spices and/or flavourings which is added to an already cooked dish, in this case lentils. This was done to keep those flavours and aromas really sharp but also some dishes take a long time to cook and the tarka can be made alongside and then added in once both are done.
