About

Hey there,
This is Raji. Welcome to my site “Talimpu | True Taste begins…

“TALIMPU” is a telugu word (south Indian Language).
Also called tadka in hindi, tiragamota / tiragamata in telugu, tempering in english.

This is how to do the basic talimpu/tadka–>

heat 1tsp of oil. Add mustard seeds and when they start spluttering add urad dal( skinned split black lentils) and cumin seeds. Variations of this by adding broken red chillies, curry leaves, asafoetida, tamarind, yellow split lentils …

They say talimpu gives all the heavenly taste to the food apart from salt. So talimpu spices are a must have.

All these Indian recipes are the way i cook not the way they should be. Most of them are inherited from my family and friends. Others from books and blogs.

Warning:

Dont take the amount i give for each ingredient seriously.

Ex: If i say 1 inch tamarind ball……its because my tamarind might be old and so not that sour. Make sure to adjust the seasonings before finishing cooking a recipe.

Taste yours and use accordingly. The same goes with chilli powder or other seasonings.

I generally write the recipe for 2-4 people. Calculate the amount to suit your needs.
