Tadka: the sizzling finish — India · Cuisine World
A tadka is whole spices fried for a few seconds in hot oil or ghee, then poured over a dish. Read a young cook's plan and find the mistakes.
Your task
Tap the lines with a mistake.
- Hot fat helps release the aroma of the spices. That hot fat is a job for an adult only.
- Simulation: heat, ovens, hot oil and knives are only pretend here. At home, always cook with an adult.
- Allergens: check the label with an adult (gluten, milk, egg, nuts, peanut, shellfish, soy, sesame). We never ask about your allergies.
Score
- Safe kitchen — Adult, clean hands, cool handles: you cooked safely.
- Technique — Right order, right amounts, right timing.
- Food knowledge — You understood why it works — and where it comes from.
Around the world
