Brown-Butter Dal Tadka with sherry vinegar

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: yellow onion, garlic, fresh ginger and set within reach of the stove.
2. Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the scallions and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Turn the heat up, add the dal tadka, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
4. Fold in the garlic and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Off the heat, brighten it up with a handful of herbs and a final crack of pepper.
6. Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
