And we're sure you wouldn't want that. If you're hesitant about making tadka, we've got a viral hack that will help you make it like a pro, just like your mother. This tip will also be a lifesaver for all you amateur cooks out there.
The video of this now-viral hack was shared by MasterChef Prachi Agarkar on her Instagram page. In the video, she explains how to make tadka without any oil splatter and mess. Wondering how you can do so? Well, the magic ingredient is salt! All you need to do is sprinkle some after heating the ghee or oil in the pan.
